Anthony Baeza, also known by his stage name Baeza, is a Mexican American singer, actor rapper, hip hop producer, and songwriter from Fresno, California. By 2011 Baeza was releasing his own singles and music videos, and his first mixtape, Dough and Dro, came out in early 2013. He has toured throughout the United States as a headliner at venues such as the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Compton Fresno, and after the late 2013 release of his Right on Time EP he was featured as an "artist on the way to the top" in The Fresno Bee. Currently signed to Dope House Records Empire Distribution, he has collaborated with hip hop artists such as Clyde Carson and Baby Bash, and in June 2015 he is due to release a full-length version of his The Man EP on EMPIRE Recordings. Baeza operates his own fashion line, Striktly Business, out of Fresno.
Anthony Baeza was born in 1993 in Fresno, California, where he also spent his childhood. He started making music at around age thirteen, picking up hip hop production as a hobby. He soon started rapping over his own beats, and by seventeen he had decided he wanted to pursue music as a career. Encouraged by family members such as his father, early musical inspirations included hip hop artists such as Tupac.
By 2011 Baeza had started to release his own singles, and one of his first music videos came out in December for "Far From Ready." In 2012 he also released videos for his tracks "Real Feelings," "Woah," "Can't Love You," and in December, "Slow Down." As of early 2013, Hit the Floor Magazine claimed that "Far From Ready" was one of his most popular songs. According to Baeza, the track was written "about an ex-girlfriend. We had broke up and all these feelings just hit me... and when I go through real life stuff, I write them in a song and that's how it came about."
His first full-length mixtape, Dough and Dro, came out in early 2013. The mixtape was hosted by DJ Meek. At that point Baeza had worked with artists such as Clyde Carson and Kap G, and though he was receiving attention from two major record labels, he chose to "hold off on signing to any record labels until I put out my first studio album." The Dough and Dro mixtape would be released on iTunes near the end of the year, on his own Baeza Music label. He also has his own fashion line, Stiktly Business, based out of Fresno.
