Baby Bash

Born in the Vallejo, CA, area in 1975 to a Latin mother and an Anglo father who both eventually became addicted to heroin, Baby Bash grew up with some uncles and a grandmother who exposed him to all sorts of music. From 2001 to 2003, he performed under the name Baby Beesh, after which he change the last part of the name to Bash. Baby Bash's career began to rise when he went to Houston, Texas, where he met fellow rapper South Park Mexican.

Prior to his success as a solo artist he was part of rap groups Potna Deuce and Latino Velvet. Bash's debut album entitled “Savage Dreams” was released on the independent label Dope House Records in 2001. The acclaim he received soon caught the attention of Universal Records, who signed him later that year. In 2003, Baby Bash released his first album on a major label, Tha Smokin' Nephew, and Super Saucy in 2005.

He recently was featured in Paula DeAnda's first single "Doin' Too Much" from his debut album Paula DeAnda. He has collaborated with numerous other artists during his career, such as West Coast rappers B-Legit, C-Bo, Coolio, E-40 and Mac Dre, R&B singers like Akon, Avant, Natalie, and Nate Dogg, and other Latino rappers such as Fat Joe, Doll-E Girl, Frost, and Pitbull.

He continues to write lyrics for singers such as Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and Frankie J. His third studio album, Cyclone (initially titled Ronnie Ray All Day), was released in late October 2007. So far, Baby Bash has released three singles off the album: "Mamacita" featuring Marcos Hernandez, "Na Na (The Yummy Song),” and "Cyclone" featuring T-Pain.

The month of the album release, Baby Bash became Myspace's #1 Latin artist, and the single Cyclone had over 750,000 digital and ringtone sales prior to the album's release.
