Baris Hilton

Baris was brought up in the suburbs of Cedar Park, TX. From a very young age Baris knew that the stage was a magical place. Often wondering into Mommy's shoes and lipstick, then proceed to put shows with the neighborhood kids which would be performed to their parents. By the age of 14, he felt that he wanted to reward all his friends for their hard work and appreciation in the shows, and in turn, put on an Entertainment Awards ceremony that he called the "Guess Awards". But from all this he came to learn as he went thru high school, that he was a different kind of kid. Always thinking about Hollywood and unsure of everything that was going, he proceeded to take a Culinary Arts college level class in high school, and just as he knew he was a fantastic cook! He took that new sense of confidence and moved quickly with it to California. Leaving Mom and Dad behind for a whole new eye opening life! First stop Palm Springs, where he booked a short lived internship at the CopyKatz Showroom. While working at a fine foods store, he became close friends with established screenwriter, Yara Da Silva-Heying, and then the earthquake came! One night while working at the store, he is asked by a customer if there were any good Paris Hilton impersonators in town for a friend’s birthday party. Of course he saw this as a chance to perform and took it! Ran home and got ready so incredibly fast and pieced together costumes and hit the road. It was that night that he met Bobby Trendy. Baris being a huge fan of Anna Nicole Smith was smitten when Bobby asked him to "bring your show to Hollywood!" Starting at Christmas of 07, Baris was a staple at any Bobby Trendy function. Soon that landed Baris a chance to audition for California’s largest weekly event, Tigerheat, which is held at the Legendary Avalon Theatre! Baris again shocked by how everything is just falling into place gets his boogie to work! Successfully landing a spot in the show! He mastered his makeup skills quickly, as he says, "only few have the touch... and you know if you got it" and developed characters such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Ana Barbara and Christina Aguilera, just to name a few. The Tigerheat show proved to be a great success as by January 08 he was a staple and had built a great network of friends and fans that would only push him even more to the top. By the end of December of 08 decided to move back to Austin, TX to be closer to family and friends. Spending countless hours on keeping the Diva alive! Baris does travel for shows and can arrange for appearances/performances out of state.
