Our Evolution.
Founded in 2016, Baramey is a music label dedicated to fostering up-and-coming artists and amplifying the original music movement in Cambodia. Baramey’s diverse repertoire spans hip-hop, rock, psychedelic, and even traditional Khmer music with a modern twist.
Baramey's "music revolution" now features renowned names like VannDa, Vanthan, Norith, YuuHai, and Suzana.
Led by an award-winning CEO, Baramey has cemented its position as the only original music label to achieve the #1 market position more than three times. Additionally, Baramey holds the distinction of being the first Cambodian label to sign a distribution deal with a major player like Warner Music Group, ADA Asia.
Baramey artist VannDa made history with "Time to Rise," garnering 123 million views on YouTube, the highest viewership for a Cambodian song on the platform. This track also garnered over 1 million views within a staggering 24 hours, setting another record for the country. Baramey and Cellcard collaborated on the "Time to Rise" campaign, which earned them the "Marketing Campaign of the Year 2022" award from CMO Asia. VannDa also solidified his regional success by winning the "Best Asia Flow" Award in Hong Kong, becoming the first Cambodian artist to receive an international accolade .
Furthermore, Baramey produced VannDa's "Skull Tour," a groundbreaking two-hour ticketed concert series, the first of its kind in Cambodia. Baramey's commitment to innovation continued in 2023 with the launch of "The Rapper Cambodia," a TV show that took the nation by storm. Baramey’s vision has always been to create a working ecosystem for artists that serve their ambitions to take Cambodian music global. This year, Baramey led VannDa and Vanthan to storm America’s Sabaidee Fest in June. Their electrifying set rocked a sold-out crowd of 10,000, making them the first Cambodian act to conquer a major U.S. festival. They kept the momentum going with another packed-out show in Seattle before returning home in triumph. In August 2024, VannDa made history by performing as a featured artist on the band Phoenix's lineup at the closing ceremony of the 33rd Summer Olympics in Paris, France. He was the first Cambodian artist ever to grace this prestigious platform.

ខ្ញុំពិតជាមានកិត្តិយសសម្រាប់វត្ដមានចូលរួមកម្មវិធី TEDxAbdulCarimeSt ហើយបាន
ចែករំលែកពីការយល់ឃើញនឹងការស្គាល់ពីប្រទេសកម្ពុជាពីជ្រុងមួយទៀតគឺភាពសប្បាយរីករាយ
ភាពរីកចម្រើន ជាពិសេសគឺ "តន្រ្តី" ។ ពីព្រោះយើងទាំងអស់គ្នាក៏អាចណែនាំឲ្យពិភពលោកទទួល
ស្គាល់យើងបានតាមរយៈនេះបានដែរ មិនមែនត្រឹមតែរបបខ្មែរក្រហម ឬតែប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្ត
តែមួយគត់នោះទេ។ សង្ឃឹមថាការចែករំលែកមួយនេះនឹងធ្វើឲ្យអ្នកទស្សនាទាំងអស់គ្នាមានទស្សនៈ
ប្លែកពីមុន ហើយនឹង បន្តចែកចាយនូវភាពល្អពិសេសមួយនេះ :)
I am honor to be on TEDxAbdulCarimeSt and talk about "How music revolution changes Cambodia narrative". Thank for allowing me this opportunity to share about the other side of Cambodia of how we can introduce ourselves to the world in more than just "Khmer Rouge" or "Angkor Wat" but our "Music" as well.
