Claudia Nahum (born February 5, 1983 in Singapore), better known by her stage name Baby K, is an Italian rapper, singer, and songwriter. She spent the first years of her life in Jakarta, Indonesia, before moving to London, UK where she grew up. At age 17 she moved to Rome, Italy.
Since 2006 she has been a prominent face in the Italian hip hop scene, releasing various EPs and collaborating with other Italian hip hop artists. In 2012, pop singer and songwriter Tiziano Ferro took an interest in her and suggested that they collaborate. This eventually led to him co-producing her major label debut album. He also features on her debut single "Killer", which became a big hit in Italy. Before the release of her debut studio album "Una Seria" in 2013, Baby K had opened for Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks.
Her 2015 sophomore album, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", contains various singles published between 2015 and 2016, including "Roma - Bangkok" featuring Giusy Ferreri charting in Italy (also landing at #1 on the 2015 year-end charts), and other parts of Europe.
In 2017, the "Icona" era starts with the single "Voglio ballare con te" departing from the hip-hop/rap sound and moving to a reggaeton and pop sound already seen in some other songs such as "Roma - Bangkok" and "Dindi". Other singles extracted from the album, released in 2018, are "Da zero a cento" and "Come no", becoming big hits in Italy.
In 2021, "Donna Sulla Luna" was released. It was mostly a commercial failure, except for the lead single "Playa", being released in 2019 during the "Icona" period.
