Last Thanksgiving, if the family at your table asked you if you'd heard of Shabzi, you probably thought twice. But this holiday season, his name is well known.
Shabzi hit the big time this year with his blockbuster record 'A Bar Song', which has been played at almost every bar, wedding and other parties for the past few months.
After the song became a huge hit, the 29-year-old was chosen to perform it during halftime of Thursday's game between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions.

Shabuzi released his first single in 2014, but his first two albums never even charted.
However, “A Bar Song” remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 weeks, tying it with Lil Nas X's “Old Town Road” for the longest reign at No. 1 on the list. It became a Thai record for a song that continues to be played.
Shabuji, whose life has definitely changed 180 degrees in 2024, reflected on his journey after the performance.
