Music flows through the veins of Newark New Jersey native Bakir Floyd. The son of a member of Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit, he grew up trying to imitate his talented dad, who exposed him from an early age to rapping and singing, and he came up with his own tunes to perform. Growing up saw him pursue other interests, such as studying engineering at the University of Villanova, but music was always in the background, a flickering ember waiting for the right opportunity to spark into flame. Sure enough, Floyd is now making a name for himself with his music, and his hit song, ‘2 AM’.
