Baro Sura

Baro Sura is a **Melbourne-based artist** who blends hip-hop, R&B, soul, and experimental sounds into a genre-fluid style that's distinctly his own. Born to Oromo parents, he grew up immersed in diverse musical influences—from the rhythms of hip-hop to the tenderness of R&B, punk rebellion, and experimental production. His breakthrough came with the project *Just Problems You Need to Know*, which captured national attention, and he further solidified his reputation as one of Australia's most forward-thinking young voices with a rare feature on Mac Miller's *Circles*, where he provided vocals and drums on the track "Hand Me Down".

After taking time to reimagine his craft, Baro re-emerged with a refined artistic vision, collaborating closely with producer Silentjay on singles like "& On" and "analysis paralysis". This evolution culminated in *Today & Always* (2025), his most ambitious project to date—an emotionally expansive body of work that blends soul, alternative hip-hop, and dream-pop. Known for delivering raw, heartfelt, and deeply connective live performances that move between meditative intimacy and explosive energy, Baro brings an undeniable presence to the stage. He's become part of a vibrant new wave of Melbourne artists pushing the boundaries of Australian hip-hop and soul, creating music that's as much an intimate experience as it is a sonic journey.
