Isam Bachiri (Arabic: عصام بشيري - born 1 August 1977) is a Danish rapper, singer and songwriter.

[citation needed] Bachiri came into contact with music in his youth through the developing hip hop scene and subculture in America.

[citation needed] Between 1997 and 2017 Bachiri joined Waqas Ali Qadri and Lenny Martinez to form the Danish hip-hop group Outlandish, drawing upon the influences of their respective ethnic heritage, and in particular the Islamic faith of two of the band members.

[1][2] In May 2019, a group of artists met to suggest songs for inclusion in the Danish Højskolesangbogen (folk highschool songbook) in order to better represent the nation's cultural diversity.

[5] Isam has since defended its inclusion, and notes the "great honour" of being included in the book, despite criticisms he has received as a result.
