Born and raised in the worlds borough, Queens, New York; Bes Aliju is the epitome of what it means to be from the melting pot of NYC. Drawing influences everywhere from Chicago legend Kanye West, to Canadian sensation Kaytranada, to the quintessential band Arctic Monkeys to Australian legend Tame Impala. A self taught musician, teaching himself everything from production, to guitar, to bass guitar, to mixing and mastering; Bes Aliju does whatever necessary to take the art he hears in his thick Albanian head, to the real world. “Every genre has amazing songs, just gotta find them” - Bes Aliju (probably?) Bes Aliju makes music that teeters on the fine line of something familiar and something you’ve never heard before, all brought by someone you’ve never heard of before (for better or for worse)
