A Q&A With San Diego Hip Hop Artist Bari Bandz

I had a chance to sit down with San Diego Hip Hop artist Bari Bandz. Inspired by his elders in the music scene of San Diego, Bari started making music at a young age. His cousins Blak Fog and Gee truly led the way as he started freestyling and performing live around town. After finishing his final years of college, he chose to pursue music even more seriously because of the psychological challenge it provided him with. Next thing you know, he was performing back to back shows and truly excelling at his dream. Some of his most notable accomplishments include signing with Empire distribution and building his business from the ground up.
