about me
hey, i’m Jako Bär.
i grew up internationally in places like Pakistan, Thailand, Afghanistan and Sri-Lanka (a story for another time). at 19, i moved to my passport home of Germany. ever since, i’ve been working creatively as an independent artist. if you have worked on an artist project at all, you’ll know how many different tasks, skills & topics are involved. i am a confident & robust all-rounder. currently, my main focus is leading a small team of free-lancers & band on my artist project ‘BÄR’.
