This makes you wonder how his journey continued after his biographical ‘Cosmic’ that showcased chapters of his life from a working process of three years. For his 2019 mixtape-release, the 11-track ‘Soul Searching’, he added to the title the words ‘A Journey of Love Pain and Growth’, while the cover art shows doves flying in front of him. With ‘Cosmic’ though, he described the album as “the story of what I was and what I’m becoming” to Zach Sang in that same interview from 2018. Bazzi’s success was then followed by ‘ Cosmic’ (2018), his debut album which also included hit single ‘ Beautiful’ that he first released as a solo track, then as a feature with Camila Cabello.īazzi cherishes his steady way to fame, as he is grateful for every little thing but also seeks to enjoy the moment in the present time. Releasing an urban and colorful music video to support the song, with Bazzi flying and floating in the air (just like Kendrick Lamar in his video for ‘ Alright’) and eventually entering the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 11. It just happened that ‘Mine’ became an internet meme out of the blue, especially on Snapchat filters, and started appearing in charts. An own unique style that attracted the audience like a magnet, without shaping the song to fit radio. His 2017 self-released single ‘ Mine’ can be seen as a great example of that fact. Bazzi is very keen on writing and creating his own music, and as he mentioned at the Zach Sang Show in 2018, he never wants to compromise his artistry to fit the mainstream, just like his idol Prince. This positive outlook made fans dig into his own projects, with summer-track ‘ Fun’, a 2016 collaboration with electronic group Fancy Cars, taking small but steady steps into the music business. His short covers like ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ by The Weeknd, or ‘Just Can’t Let Her Go’ by One Direction, helped create a fanbase for Bazzi, who performs solely with his last name, and gained him 1.5 million followers on Vine in 2015. First YouTube in 2012, then a year later on Vine, a video hosting service that gained popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s for sharing short six-second long video clips.
His name is Andrew Bazzi: A kid from Canton, Michigan, whose Lebanese from his father’s side, who early on found passion in music, learning musical instruments like guitar and oud and eventually posted song covers on social media that helped to create a platform for himself as an artist.
