Born May 20, 1991, the pop star came to be known in China in 2016, thanks to the hit TV drama The Interpreter starring Chinese actress Yang Mi and actor Huang Xuan.

In the TV series, Baker plays a popular pub singer in Switzerland and sings two ballads, I'd Sing for You from his first album, and 79 Clinton Street, from his second album, Too Old to Die Young.

On Dec 22, 2017, he also impressed Chinese audiences with his passion and musical talent in the hot variety show Day Day Up to promote Swiss tourism, which was honored with the presence of the Swiss Ambassador to China Jean-Jacques De Dardel.

“China and Switzerland both enjoy rich tourist resources. My country is known as the cradle of tourism and world gardens while China enjoys a profound and extensive culture. I visited the Mutianyu Great Wall this time, and it is one of the must-see scenic spots for each human being,” he added.

Baker did not expect to be a professional musician. Growing up in an athletic family, he first tried his hand at professional hockey, following in the footsteps of his father.

But because of his interest in music, he joined the school choir in Villeneuve, a municipality of the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, and was given a solo role in recognition of his talent.

A friend of his father saw him in a performance in 2010 during a social gathering and offered to produce his songs, marking the beginning of Baker’s music legend.
