Baris Aladag is defining a new generation of European artists. Emerging from a Turkish-descended family in Germany, his work travels culturally as much as it explores new styles and medias.

Fascinated by the big screen since a little boy, Baris grew up in a family of artists that motivated his creativity endeavors from the start.

Baris’ dive into the art-sea started early. Thirteen years old— and already DJing in underground clubs. One year later he was in a studio recording his first single.

A few years later Baris started experimenting with moving picture. Baris’s first award came already with his first commercial, shot when he was only 19 years old. Followed by several prices including a Silver Lion at the Cannes Advertising Festival in 2012.

Baris focuses on commercials and music videos and explores new grounds for fictional work. He just recently shot BMW, Audi, Beck’s, Alanis Morissette, Jean-Michel Jarre, Phoenix and Asteroid Galaxy Tour.

He also is about to produce another music album and sets up a cinema documentary to be released in 2016.
