About Bart Baker:
Bart Baker is the real deal, except on YouTube, he’s just the opposite – a professional “parodier.” Bart is a one-man comedic mastermind creating, acting, and directing his own hilarious spoofs of top-trending music videos. However, the term “one-man” should be used loosely, as Baker’s signature trademark is his transformation into the multiple male and female personas whose music videos he mocks. When Bart isn’t posing as Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber, you can find him in the studio making original music or developing new ways to connect with his fans – he now has close to 50 singles available on iTunes, a full album, cool merchandise, a second YouTube channel, and his own iPhone music video app!
