Today we’d like to introduce you to BAYBE
Hi BAYBE, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory
I started as a voice over artist for children’s dolls when I was three years old. As a teenager I was in a few bands as the keyboardist, guitarist, or background vocalist, before realizing I wanted to pursue my own solo project. At 17 I started my folk project “Love, Abbey” and released an EP under that name. That EP caught the attention of a synch-licensing publisher in Nashville, so I began flying up frequently to write with other producers and artists. Soon my sound evolved into what it is today, inspiring a name change to “BAYBE”, so that I could have more sonic freedom and explore my passion for pop and hip-hop/rap. I’ve recently moved from South Florida to Nashville, where I now write and produce for my own project, as well as other local artists.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Any creative career has it’s struggles, as it’s all unpredictable and ever-changing. An early struggle of mine was having difficulty translating my concepts and ideas to producers, since I was only writing at the time. Songs weren’t turning out how I imagined, and it was extremely frustrating. I took it upon myself to learn how to produce even at just a basic level, so I could paint a better picture of what I wanted, and that helped me a great deal. Once that evolved into full-on production, I was able to sort of c-produce a lot of my sessions which let me have a little more creative control. Besides creative struggles, being a solo artist is difficult because you have to learn the industry on your own at first and figure out what is the correct order when it comes to recording, playing shows, releasing music, etc. Luckily, I made friends along the way who had plenty of knowledge about all of this and they helped me get to where I am today.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a musician, a recording artist, a producer, and a songwriter. I think it’s becoming more common these days for artists to try to do a little bit of everything, but I’d like to think what sets me apart from others is that I have worked tirelessly my entire life to be great at all of these things. I rarely spend my time doing anything that isn’t music, whether it’s learning a new instrument, writing a song in a new style, or producing an artist in a genre that is unfamiliar to me. I’m not completely sure what I am known for just yet, but I hope when I’ve reached my goals and have had an extensive music career, I will be known for creating quality and meaningful art.
How do you think about luck?
I don’t necessarily believe in luck, but I do believe in envisioning things that are important to me. Mostly everything I have ever set my sights on has come to fruition, and the things that have not were not meant to be. I think luck is an easy thing for people to lean on when in reality, good things happen to those who work hard and don’t let doubt play a role in their goals.
