He has been playing the guitar since his childhood and started making music in 2017 in a more serious manner. He has been publishing his songs under the stage name Azahriah since 2019.
He will perform to full houses in the Puskás Aréna on three consecutive occasions (24-25-26. May, 2024), becoming the first Hungarian artist to do so.
Early life
Attila Baukó was born in the Újpalota neighbourhood of Budapest in 2002. His parents divorced, but he maintains a good relationship with both of them. His mother is a professional soldier, who served in the peacekeeping forces in Kosovo twice. His father worked at a car manufacturer in Germany. He learnt making videos, as well as playing the guitar and speaking English from YouTube tutorials.
He wanted to make music from an early age and picked up the guitar for his affection to heavy metal. Some of his favorite artists include Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
Career
He started a YouTube channel on 9 February, 2014, titled Paul Street. Initially, he posted vlogs, then later started making videos about mysterious and/or frightening topics. The channel had more than 500,000 subscribers in April 2023.
He started releasing his songs under the pseudonym Azahriah in 2019, with the help of Botond Pócsi (Hundred Sins). His stage name comes from the Latin version Uzziah, the tenth king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. His first self-composed song, titled "Hathor" was released on 28 January, 2020. His debut album, I'm Worse, with English lyrics, was released on 15 April, 2020. His second English language album, Camouflage was released on 29 June, 2021.
The breakthrough came with the song "RÉT", a collaboration with Attila Molnár (DESH), in November 2020, which charted on the Mahasz top list. Their next collaboration, titled "MIND1" opened on the 9th place of the Mahasz Stream Top 40 and ended up on the first place later.
His song "EL BARTO" charted 6th in the same top list in July 2021. He became the best Hungarian artist at the 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards.
He released an EP titled silbak on 10 August, 2022. All the songs charted on the Mahasz Stream Top 40 and some of them appeared on other Mahasz charts and Billboard's local Hungary Songs chart.
