Artist Name: BARON
Who are you?
My name is Baron, and music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I’ve been producing and writing songs since I was a kid, making noise in my garage and teaching myself anything I could get my hands on during the many times I was alone for being "different". I’ve always had a deep connection to instruments. I can pick up just about anything and find a way to speak through it.
For me, music has never just been about entertainment. It’s been survival, expression, therapy, and sometimes the only place I could be fully honest with myself. Through the highest highs and the darkest lows, music has always been the constant I could return to.
My journey as an artist hasn’t been linear by any means. When I was around 17 to 19, I was performing regularly at local venues and building momentum. But life took a long-awaited hard turn, and I ended up stepping away from music for nearly a decade to rebuild myself after hitting rock bottom. That time forced me to confront a lot; addiction, mental health, and the parts of myself I had been running from.
Today, I’m sober, and while I’ve made major progress in managing my mental health, healing isn’t a finish line. Some days still feel heavy. Recovery and mental health are both ongoing battles, and not every day feels bright or easy. But I’ve noticed something interesting recently: the days that feel the hardest often produce my most honest work. When everything feels raw, the music becomes real.
My song “Problem Child” is a perfect example of that. It captures the internal dialogue of those difficult days; the conflict, the chaos, the self-awareness, and the fight to keep moving forward. It’s vulnerable, but it’s also unapologetically me.
I record all of my music from my home studio, building everything from the ground up with the limited resources I have. I’m currently hoping to bring “Problem Child” to life visually with a music video, even if I have to get creative with a limited budget. I’ve learned that limitations can sometimes push creativity further.
Right now, my goal is to start performing live again and land shows in New Mexico before the end of the year. Creating “Problem Child” pushed something awake in me.. it made me realize I’m ready to take this to the next level. After everything I’ve been through, I finally feel ready to share my voice and see if my story resonates with other people.
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Austin, which is a pretty special place to grow up if you’re obsessed with music. The city has this nonstop pulse of creativity; on any given night, you can find incredible live performances, underground shows, songwriters, bands, and artists all pushing each other to be better. There’s an energy there that makes music feel alive and unavoidable, and growing up in that environment definitely shaped me.
A little over a year ago, I relocated to Santa Fe. While it’s much smaller than Austin, the creative spirit is still incredibly strong. Santa Fe has its own unique artistic heartbeat: it’s intimate, eclectic, and deeply rooted in culture and expression. The scene may be smaller in size, but not in talent or passion.
What I appreciate about both places is that they value authenticity. Whether it’s Austin’s massive, high-energy scene or Santa Fe’s more tight-knit creative community, both environments have reinforced something important for me.. the best art comes from honesty. That’s the energy I try to bring into my own music.
