BAKAR HITS NUMBER 1 ON THE ADULT ALTERNATIVE SONGS CHART WITH “HELL N BACK”
ABOUT BAKAR:
Christened as a rising star by an elite fan club ranging from Sir Elton John to Skepta, Dominic Fike, Virgil Abloh and beyond, Bakar asserts and affirms himself as a genre-defiant maverick. He sent shockwaves through the culture with 2018’s Badkid project. Stitching together rock, smooth R&B,, hip-hop, and experimental indie with a punk edge, the Camden, North London-born artist carefully perfected his patented style through his unique point of view. In 2019, his Will You Be My Yellow EP touted the breakthrough single “Hell n Back” as well as “Stop Selling Her Drugs” [feat. Dominic Fike]. He packed venues around the world while amassing nearly 30 million streams in less than a year’s time, while being named a major artist to watch by publications such as i-D, Wonderland, The Guardian and Pigeons and Planes. While grabbing attention with his sui generis sound and style, he became a face of the Louis Vuitton SS19 Campaign and has collaborated with the likes of Prada, Topman and more. Defying creative boundaries, Bakar unassumingly incites a movement of his own.
