DBsock Drops Soulful Hip-Hop Single “Masking”

Emerging artist DBsock (Mingwei Gao) has unveiled her latest single, “Masking,” showcasing a raw, soulful side of her artistic identity. Released in 2023, the song serves as a heartfelt expression of her journey, highlighting the deep struggles of growing up as a woman on the autism spectrum.

With a calm yet powerful production, **“Masking”** blends hip-hop and soul to tell her story of isolation and self-discovery. Born in **Shenzhen, China**, and later navigating life alone in the **United States, DBsock’s** music reflects her fusion of Western culture and Chinese heritage. Her background in psychology and fine arts uniquely informs her work, as she subtly addresses cultural and societal issues through her music.

DBsock aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by women on the autism spectrum, many of whom are often misdiagnosed and left to struggle with mental health issues. “Masking” is a message of solace for those who feel out of place in society, whether on the spectrum or simply navigating social life.

“Masking” is now available on all streaming platforms.
