From wallflower to gen Z icon: the rising of Azahriah is the ultimate 21st century success story. Not only his first show at the Puskás Arena (capacity: 45.000) was sold out in a day, but he had to add two more nights
to the schedule! This is totally unprecedent in Hungarian music history: no Hungarian musician ever could make a full house here before him.


Growing up with a mother being in the army (two missions in Kosovo) and a
father who often works abroad, Azahriah was used to doing things on his
own. So much so, he barely had any friends in elementary school. Getting
fed up with always being the lonely one, at age 12 he started his YouTube
channel, called Paul Street

(named after Ferenc Molnar's famous novel, The Paul Street Boys), gaining
more and more popularity with his mystery/paranormal themed stories. This
was literally a life saver for him: when dropped out of high school for

being bullied by one of his teachers, he really could use the positive
vibes starting over everything in a new school.


After becoming one of Hungary's best known content creators, Azahriah
decided to move forward and fulfill his singer-songwriter dreams. As his
videos had nothing to do with music, this definitely could have been a
burden – but not for him. He knew exactly what he was doing. Already a
qualified guitar player (perks of being

alone a lot as a child), he started to learn music making and sound
engineering and recorded his first demos. Fun fact: he wrote his first
lyrics at school in 2017, in English class, using rhyme.com to find the
best rhymes. Boy, he learns quickly!


Status update: he's a multi-instrumentalist pop star who dominated one of
Europe's biggest music festival's, Sziget Festival's main stage this
summer. It took him less than two years to completely change the perception
of Hungarian pop music – even the visualizers of his songs are instant
TikTok trends.


Packed with wise lyrics and catchy tunes, Azahriah's songs are always edgy
and never fail to serve the audience with surprising and entertaining
inspirations from trap to reggae, oldschool Hungarian classics to the
cutting edge styles and genres.


His songs with his BFF, Hungary's most streamed trap artist, DESH, are also
extremely popular. Even the music critics are amused with the two's quirky,
daring, nasty and heavy loaded beats.
