Biography
Early life
Baby Bash was born to a Mexican mother and Anglo father in Vallejo, California in 1975. His father eventually became a heroin addict. Growing up, his uncles and grandmother exposed him to many different types of musical genres.He is also related to the Leyvas in Fresno,Clovis,Hanford,and Riverdale,CA. Bash had aspiration of becoming a professional basketball player, but he now works as a songwriter and rapper.[1] He had planned to play basketball for the junior college he attended in California during the mid-1990s. He eventually tore his ankle several times without surgery, permanently ending the possibility of ever playing basketball at even a semi-professional level.[3]
Career
Baby Bash's career began to rise when he went to Houston, Texas, where he met fellow rapper South Park Mexican. Thus, he decided to re-locate there. Prior to his success as a solo artist he, under the name "Baby Beesh", was part of rap groups Potna Deuce and Latino Velvet.[4] Bash's debut album entitled Savage Dreams was released on the independent label Dope House Records in 2001[1]. 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[5] and Mac Dre, R&B singers like Akon, Avant, Natalie, and Nate Dogg[3], and other Latino rappers such as Fat Joe, Doll-E Girl, Frost[5], and Pitbull.[6]. He continues to write lyrics for singers such as Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and Frankie J[7].
His third studio album, Cyclone (initially titled Ronnie Ray All Day)[8], 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[7], and the single Cyclone had over 750,000 digital and ringtone sales prior to the album's release[7].
Baby Bash is presently working on a new film entitled Primos starring Chingo Bling and Danny Trejo. The comedy involves three cousins working in a bakery with dreams of making money, and is slated for a 2008 release[7]. His major-label debut Tha Smokin' Nephew was well-received by the All Music Guide[9], but his 2007 album Cyclone was given mixed reviews, for example being panned by Rolling Stone magazine.[10]
On December 31, 2007, Baby Bash performed at the halftime show of the Brut Sun Bowl [1] game between South Florida and Oregon.
Baby Bash has also worked with Australian artist Kate Alexa, who on March 3rd, 2008 released the song Teardrops, which is a cover of Womack & Womacks Teardrops song. Baby Bash raps during the song and the song has performed well in Australia.
