Bazzi
Biography
Grasping smoked-out sensual RnB and widescreen pop sensibilities inside of an eighties-inspired high-fashion fever dream, Michigan-born and Los Angeles-based singer-producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Bazzi wants to take you on a trip. "There's a genuine feeling in my music," he exclaims. "It's a mix of everything I grew up on - from rock to pop. You hear the guitars and real drum sounds with modern-day elements and weird samples. It's odd and different. It's got a swag and flow, but you're in this fantasy world at the same time.
Long before unlocking that place, he took the first step on his musical journey back in Canton, MI. Born to a Lebanese immigrant father and American mother, he shares stories of dressing up as Elvis to perform in front of the neighbours. Returning from a trip to Lebanon, Dad brought home an OUd, and a four-year-old Bazzi immediately took the instrument. By the age of six, he picked up traditional acoustic.
Fascinated by music, the budding talent devoted his high school years to uploading tracks online as he obsessed over diverse influences ranging from Justin Timberlake and Bryson Tiller to Duran Duran and Guns N' Roses. During senior year, he and pops moved to L.A. so Bazzi could properly pursue a career in music. While finishing high school on the West Coast, he constantly wrote and produced, creating his own soundscapes by hand on guitar, piano, and drums.
COSMIC has solidified his place in the modern musical landscape.
