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 his 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 will perform to full houses in the Puskás Aréna on three consecutive occasions[5] (24-25-26. May, 2024), becoming the first Hungarian artist to do so.[6]
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 learnt 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 for his affection to heavy metal. Some of his favorite artists include Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.[8]
He started a YouTube channel on 9 February, 2014, titled Paul Street.[9] 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]
The breakthrough came with the song "RÉT", a collaboration with Attila Molnár (DESH [hu]), in November 2020, which charted on the Mahasz top list.[16][17] Their next collaboration, titled "MIND1" opened on the 9th place of the Mahasz Stream Top 40[18] and ended up on the first place later.[19]
His song "EL BARTO" charted 6th in the same top list in July 2021.[20] He became the best Hungarian artist at the 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards.[21]
He released an EP titled silbak on 10 August, 2022.[22] 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.[23][24]
On March 10, 2023, he held a concert at the László Papp Budapest Sports Arena.[25]
He released another album, titled Memento on 1 May, 2023.[26]
