Rebin Shah (born 4 October 1988), better known by his stage name Rebstar, is a Swedish recording artist and hip hop entrepreneur. He is also the founder of Swedish record label Today Is Vintage.
Spearheading Sweden's urban export, Rebstar and Today Is Vintage have gained notable international exposure leading the "Swedish invasion".
Rebin Shah was born in Malmö, Sweden, on 4 October 1988. He is the only child of a Persian mother and a Kurdish father. He found his love for hip hop at an early age, and grew up in Rosengård until his late teens. He learned English in an international elementary school and, after graduating high school, moved to the United Kingdom to study law at the University of Aberdeen. During his short stint in Scotland, he dropped out of law school and moved back to Sweden to pursue music full-time.
In late 2008, Rebstar released his debut single "Without You", produced by Canadian T-Minus and featuring Trey Songz. "Without You" quickly became a hit and was the third-most requested song on Swedish radio. The success of the single led to Trey Songz coming to Sweden for a promotional tour with Rebstar in December 2008.
In 2008, Rebstar founded 2fresh Records to release his own music. 2fresh served as the label for Rebstar's music and has released singles in collaboration with acts such as Trey Songz,Ray J,Boi-1da and more.
Rebstar's debut mixtape Arrival was released on 4 October 2010. It features Ray J, Trey Songz, Boi-1da, T-Minus, REO, DJ Pain 1. A follow-up mixtape entitled Arrival 2.0 was released on 3 May 2011, including three new songs.
In July 2011, a song by Rebstar entitled "Good Life" featuring Drake and Rock City was leaked and surfaced on multiple blogs.
In March 2012, he released the mixtape Bad Karma with promotional support from The Pirate Bay and MediaFire. In August 2012, Rebstar featured on Kállay Saunders' single "Tonight". The song peaked at #4 on the Top 40 Hungarian Charts with an accompanying music video released on 6 September 2012.
