WHAT IT IS: Grabbing worldwide attention with his sui generis sound and fans including Elton John, Skepta, Dominic Fike and Virgil Abloh, Bakar has been hailed as a rising star and has affirmed himself as a genre-defiant maverick. A melting pot of rock, smooth R&B, hip-hop and experimental indie with a punk edge, the North London-born artist has carefully perfected his patented style. Bakar followed up his first full-length project, Badkid, with his latest EP, Will You Be My Yellow?, exhibiting his hard-hitting delivery and addictive lyrical wit.
