Bazzi Biography

The American rapper, songwriter, and producer known as Bazzi was born Andrew Bazzi in 1997 in Michigan. Bazzi learned to play the guitar and Arabic oud as a child, encouraged by his Lebanese father. It quickly became apparent that he possessed natural musical talent, and so by the time he was a teenager Bazzi had started to post his own covers of songs to YouTube. After graduating from high school, Bazzi settled in Los Angeles so that he could focus more fully on a career in music.

Bazzi originally became known through his Vine account, which he had started as a teenager and which grew to 1.5 million followers. He self-released a half a dozen songs via social media, none of which seemed to gain any traction, until “Mine,” which he posted in 2017. An executive at Artist Partner Group (a Warner Music affiliate) heard the song and quickly signed him to a record deal. By early 2018 the single had charted on the Billboard Hot 100, setting the stage for a career which is currently on the rise.

Clearly, Bazzi is a star on the rise and one to watch in the coming years. He recently released his debut mixtape, Soul Searching (2019), which features the songs “Paradise” and “Focus,” the later recorded with 21 Savage.
