By choosing to rise above his dire state, he is inspiring other aspiring music artists out there experiencing many difficulties to never give up.

In May 2020, at the height of the pandemic, .Baj released his single titled “No Trust,” which generated more than 300k streams on YouTube alone. Music fans’ remarkable and overwhelming response to his song was unexpected, and he was deeply grateful that they appreciate his talents and genuine love for music. So far, the 25-year-old artist has dropped two major EPs from the time he launched his music career.
