BAKIAN, a story and a journey
After the success of his first album, widely acclaimed by the press, and an unreleased track gifted by Charles Aznavour titled “L’Adolescence”, followed by triumphant performances on legendary Parisian stages such as the Alhambra, Zénith, Palace, and Casino de Paris, the artist from the French Riviera has recently released “IL PLUME DES CAILLOUX”, a powerful and poetic song that intensely tackles the theme of social inequalities. Co-written by BAKIAN, Max Pantera, and Charles Aznavour, who also composed the piece, this work reflects a rare artistic encounter, blending the humanism and melodic elegance of the great Aznavour with BAKIAN’s committed and vibrant lyrical style. Following several Pop-Electro-inspired singles, “CHANGER”, “TOUT EMPORTER”, “LE PREMIER”, “INSOMNIE”, “DÉSORMAIS”, “IL PLUME DES CAILLOUX”, and “LE MÊME” all still available, BAKIAN will embark on a nationwide tour across France starting next fall and will perform on the iconic stage of L’OLYMPIA on October 5, 2026. Ranked in the Yacast Top 100 Indie Pop with “TOUT EMPORTER”, BAKIAN has accumulated a little over 3 million streams across all platforms with his first five singles and is now unveiling a 7-track EP titled “PASSION”. With refined pop arrangements and a vocal performance blending power and sensitivity, BAKIAN enhances the deep and inspiring lyrics of this EP while infusing each track with his unique artistic signature. A committed singer-songwriter followed today by more than 350,000 fans on social media, BAKIAN was named Grand Officer of the Universal League for Public Good, an NGO recognized by the UN and UNESCO, on June 2, 2023, at the French Senate, where he was also appointed Head of the Youth and Sports Commission. A sports enthusiast and former Karting Champion in the early 2000s, he regularly takes part in events with the Star Team For The Children, presided over by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
