There has been much talk over the years of a post-genre world, which is really a world in which musical heritage, skin colour, limiting orthodoxies and personal preferences are all definitively decoupled, one where the rapper Dave can play acoustic guitar at the Brits ceremony (as he did recently) and no one bats an eyelid. It is this future, in which there are no lanes to stray out of, which Bakar embraces, somewhat unevenly, but with aplomb, a more tuneful north London analogue to south London’s genre-masher-in-chief, King Krule. Bakar's journey in music began at an early age when he started writing songs as a form of self-expression. Influenced by artists like Kanye West, Arctic Monkeys and Frank Ocean, he developed his own sound that defies categorization. His debut EP "Badkid" was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
