Editor's note

Bakar's London sound, from BadKid to personal growth

A Mercury-nominated London musician whose songs mix personal themes with a distinct urban pulse.

For a quick sense of his style, try "Classic" or "Devant ma fenetre." They frame his approach better than any bio could.

Bakar's music first caught ears with the 2018 single "1st Time," and his debut album "BadKid" earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Songs like "Classic" and "Devant ma fenetre" show how he writes about anxiety and depression with a plainspoken honesty that feels lived-in rather than confessional. He's worked with artists like Rex Orange County and Clairo, but his sound remains distinctly his own.

He released "BadKid" in 2019 and followed it with "Will You Dance With Me?" in 2021. In 2020, he apologized after being accused of sexual misconduct by a former partner, saying he was committed to personal growth.
