——— HAK BAKER (UK)FR/
Hak Baker est un auteur-compositeur-interprète britannique originaire de l'Est de Londres. Il est connu pour sa fusion unique de folk, de punk, de grime et de soul qui mêle éléments acoustiques et rythmes urbains. Le jeune homme raconte la vie dans les quartiers populaires de Londres à travers des textes poétiques qui oscillent entre nihilisme juvénile, vulnérabilité masculine et prise de conscience politique, peignant un tableau d’un pays en crise.
Comparé à des artistes comme Jamie T et The Streets, Hak Baker se distingue par sa voix unique et une approche directe de la musique. Il est par ailleurs considéré par certains médias comme l'un des artistes les plus en vue de la scène musicale alternative britannique.

Hak Baker’s story begins on the Isle of Dogs where his working class community became his muse and inspired an unconventional, rebellious career that has seen the East End troubadour become one of the most respected and reverent British artists of his generation. Hak’s tales of inner city London life climb a spectrum between youthful nihilism and male vulnerability, to understanding that within the personal lives the political, as Hak paints a picture of a country in turmoil through his poetic lyricism.
With fans spanning culture and genre, from Celeste to Mike Skinner, Fontaines DC to Skepta, Slowthai to Pete Doherty to Joy Crookes and Reuben Dangoor, Hak’s fanbase identify as “MisFits”, like-minded individuals who question the status quo and celebrate Hak’s anti-genre, “G-Folk” sound. Over the past few years Hak has become one of the most prominent black artists in the alternative music scene, with Vice stating “Baker subverts what a British folk singer can be”.
Culturally sitting as comfortably beside the likes of Madness, The Specials and Benjamin Zephaniah, as he does The Streets, Kano, Akala and Greentea Peng, Hak’s repertoire truly transcends genre, with his raw, unfiltered and authentic voice at the core of everything he does. And now, Hak Baker’s forthcoming progression as an artist, an extraordinary creative leap tailor-made for an era of social inequity, internet addiction and post-pandemic disillusionment, arrives shaped by his belief that (figuratively, at least) only societal collapse can pave the way for a better, brighter tomorrow.
