Bayarjargal (Baagii) Chogsom was born and raised in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and moved to New York City in 2003. At a young age he discovered a passion for music and a traditional Mongolian instrument called the horse-head fiddle (morin khuur). Baagii received morin khuur lessons from the son of a legendary Mongolian musician, Soyol-Erdene Tserendorj.
Baagii has performed at numerous Mongolian cultural events in the New York area, including atthe United Nations, the Asia Society, Columbia University, Tibet House, and the Javits Center. His goal is to master the morin khuur and help the world to discover the greatness of this instrument.
