Claude Omari Bakari
(Born December,07,1991)
Better known by stage name Claude Baus, Claude is an African Hip Hop Poet who combines rap music with banging beats and skilled lyricism to reach out to the youth across the globe.After numerous victories in rap competitions,spoken word and open mic sessions in various institutions he acquired the name "Baus" from his fans meaning a skilled lyricist with a rich voice and the ability to switch accents.
Most of his lyrics focus on motivating young people to think,dream big and become change makers of their homes,communities and good leaders of the future.The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of socialist commentaries on issues such as poverty,religion,class hierarchy,government and all forms of discrimination from christian point of view.In short his mission is to use Hip Hop music as a catalyst for positive social change.
Claude was born in the east side of Nairobi city.He was raised by his mother, in a christian family of four.He worshiped at Winners Chapel International since age 7 to present.He attended Dagoretti High School(ditchez) and graduated in 2009.He began his music career the same year.He was later signed in by Soundland Music Company in 2010.
like Victor Peace he was raised by a single parent that is him, his mum Catherine Wanjiru Bakari and his cousin Irene Mumbi |
Baus released his first debut solo album" Let My Song Play"(yet to be launched) on September,23,2010 without the help of any distribution company.He allegedly took it to the streets and sold the first 1000 copies within the first day of its release.
On 1st August 2011 Claude dared to put his life on the line and released "Don't Sell Your Soul To The Devil" to create awareness and about illuminati,freemansons,luciferians and other secret societies/anti-Christ religions, NWO(New World Order) and their negative influence in the music industry/business.Warning the youth to be very careful about the kind of music they listen to.
During an interview with WCNN Claude stated that,"the major challenge is that record companies not artists not artist themselves profit most from mass production and marketing of music...I am commited to bring you the best music that I can and I appreciate everyone of my fans for your patience and support as I build my career from ground to sky high up... If the love that I have recieved from my fans is an indicator then am sure I'm on the right track to a very succesful career."
