Bazanji is an American hip hop artist of Kurdish descent. Despite being born in the UK, he was raised in the US after moving to North Carolina at the age of 6. Bazanji tends to keep his plate full as he is also a full-time dental student at the University of North Carolina. He has been validating his path into the hip-hop scene with millions of online streams and performances alongside noteworthy artists such as DJ Khaled. Before discovering hip-hop, Bazanji experienced a rich taste of music as a drummer in multiple rock bands.
On November 18th, 2017, Bazanji independently released his long-awaited debut album titled Mixed Feelings. The 10-track album debuted at #13 on iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart and has accumulated over 30 million streams. In 2018, his single “Runnin'” received mass exposure with appearances on ESPN SportsCenter, College Football, NBA, Forza Horizon 4 and more. After a continuous release of singles, Bazanji returned in early 2020 with his second album titled OUTLIER.
Bazanji remains an independent artist and has made it a priority to be in control of his work, as he handles all writing, mixing, mastering, and occasional production. He hopes to tell his story as a dual-career artist.
