Bakar is quite simply one of the most exciting artists in Britain right now. Following two show-stopping mixtapes, cosigns from several members of music royalty, modelling campaigns with Louis Vuitton, Prada and Virgil Abloh, and a single that topped a Billboard chart in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, Bakar was a fan of hip-hop music, but at the age of 14 he had an eye-opening experience when he was introduced to indie music. Since that day, Bakar knew that his artistry was much bigger than just one genre of music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
