Baltimore Artist Baby Kiran: Welcome to Barclay

Coming out the Barclay area of East Baltimore, Baby Kiran knows firsthand what it means to grow up in a city that’ll shape you in every way. The environment around him wasn't the best but Baltimore got its history, its struggles, and its rough corners but Kiran sees it all as an authentic upbringing. To him, no matter where you stand in the city, it’s always about what you make of it.

From early on, Kiran had that boss mentality. He wasn’t waiting on nobody to hand him anything he knew he could carve his own lane and get exactly what he wanted out of life. “This journey is what I wanted,” he shares. “I take the good with the bad and keep it moving.” That mindset has kept him focused even when things didn’t come easy.

One of the biggest challenges for Kiran has been growing his platform and pushing his music out to the masses. He already knows the potential of his sound, but the mission now is to get the world locked in 

 to turn his vision into a movement. And if you ask him, he’s ready to take over once that door swings open.

Still, Kiran got more than a few accomplishments under his belt:

• VAShift Team of the Week (4x)

• 30k views in a month with “Starting 5”

• 1 million streams on Apple Music from his first official project (dropped July 2024)

• Collab streams with BiggestGremm and xcraigg 

  
  

For Kiran, this is just the beginning. From the heart of East Baltimore to playlists worldwide, he’s proving that authenticity, resilience, and raw talent can’t be denied. Baby Kiran is not just putting on for himself he’s putting on for the city.
