Attila Baukó, also known as Azahriah[1][2] (born January 28, 2002[3]), is a Hungarian singer-songwriter and YouTuber.
He first appeared as Paul Street on YouTube, covering frightening and mysterious topics with a series called Rejtélyek nyomában ("Trailing mysteries"). He has been playing the guitar since 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.[4]
He performed to full houses in the Puskás Aréna on three consecutive occasions[5] (24, 25, and 26 May, 2024), becoming the first Hungarian artist to do so.[6]
Early life
[edit]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 learned making videos, as well as playing the guitar and speaking English, from YouTube tutorials.[7]
He wanted to make music from an early age and picked up the guitar due to his affection to heavy metal. Some of his favorite artists are Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.[8]
Career
[edit]He started a YouTube channel on 9 February, 2014, titled "Paul Street".[9] The name is a reference to the classic Hungarian novel The Paul Street Boys. 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.[9]
He started releasing his songs under the pseudonym Azahriah in 2019, with the help of Botond Pócsi (Hundred Sins).[10][11] His stage name comes from the Latin version Uzziah, the tenth king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah.[12] His first self-composed song, titled "Hathor" was released on 28 January, 2020.[13] His debut album, I'm Worse, with English lyrics, was released on 15 April, 2020.[14] His second English language album, Camouflage was released on 29 June, 2021.[15]
His song "EL BARTO" charted 6th in the same top list in July 2021.[16] He became the best Hungarian artist at the 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards.[17]
He released an EP titled silbak on 10 August 2022.[18] 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.[19][20]
On March 10, 2023, he held a concert at the László Papp Budapest Sports Arena.[21]
He released another album, titled Memento, on 1 May 2023.[22]
