Hak Baker is an evocative voice in the modern British music scene, heralding from the Isle of Dogs in East London. His music is a melting pot of genres that blurs the lines between folk, grime, and indie, delivered with an unmistakable Londoner's accent that captures the rawness of urban storytelling. Baker's music journey began in a childhood surrounded by the grit and vibrancy of city life, which has significantly influenced his lyrical content—illustrating tales of joy, sorrow, and the everyday struggle.

Emerging as a pivotal figure amongst a new wave of singer-songwriters, Baker has garnered attention for his candid reflections on society through his recent releases like "DOOLALLY" and "Windrush Baby." His ability to shift effortlessly from mournful introspection, such as in "Falling Down," to biting commentary on tracks like "Bricks in the Wall," has earned him critical acclaim and a growing fanbase. A key feature of his work is its raw authenticity, exemplified in "love me, i'm scum" and the pensive "Misled." With each release, including the likes of "Full On (KILIMANJARO Remix)" and the poignant "November," Hak Baker continues to solidify his stance as an indispensable narrator of the contemporary urban experience.
