Early in life; his family migrated to Harlem New York where he currently resides. Many refer to him as “Harlem’s Baby” due to the fact the streets of Harlem watched him grow from a young, man to a successful recording artist almost overnight. Those younger than Fergiebaby, look up to him, his peers hang out with him; older people admire his success and reminisce on when he was just a kid to them; hanging out in the streets of Harlem. All embrace his music, sing along to his songs, and stop him in the streets to take pictures, shake hands, talk music, or simply to encourage him to keep making hit records.
Believe it or not, Fergiebaby did not take his talents seriously until late 2017. Prior to becoming an artist, he would hang out, attend college, and work a regular job. His thoughts on being a rapper were on the back burner. It was not until he recorded the hit “BLEACHERS” and the video became prominent not only in Harlem, but worldwide. “Harlem’s Baby” and his hit record were embraced immediately and crowds began to sing along, share it with others, and make videos playing and dancing to “BLEACHERS”.
Based on the momentum of “BLEACHERS”, a friend and supporter of his music who happened to work for Universal Republic Records, in New York, was playing the song in her office on repeat. The Head of A&R, a few offices over, immediately fell in love with the song, and requested a meeting with this new artist that he was beginning to admire. Fergiebaby, along with his Manager were contacted by the A&R department, and a meeting was scheduled. Prior to the meeting, the A&R had heard the song, and had played it himself long enough to know the words. The A&R manager was impressed with the “BLEACHERS” video, and instantly picked out his favorite parts. It was a meeting that struck the match and started the inferno of Fergiebaby’s career.
Fergiebaby, began focusing more on his career, and the business side of the music industry. He began working on his freshman album, in June of 2018. Having an incredible ear for music and production, he meticulously handpicked tracks for his album, reached out for a few features with his favorite artists and put together a project. Once mixed, mastered and set up for release, a listening party was scheduled for his Harlem supporters and other close associates. Music industry executives, media and press were invited and were impressed with the number of guests, and the entire listening party sang along to Fergiebaby’s music. These actions lead to the question: How could a young man that recently began to take his music seriously, develop into such a trendsetting, hit making machine in such a short period of time? That question can only be answered with one word; “IT”. Fergiebaby has “IT”. Whatever “IT” is, determines success for any artist. It can be a look, a sound, swag, a new phrase or a combination of things that magically transform an artist from an unknown to a household name. Fergiebaby is quickly becoming a household name.
Fergiebaby’s freshman album, “Are You Dum?!” was released September 25th, 2018. It is available on all digital formats and can be purchased anywhere music is sold. Fergiebaby is a member of BMI Music Publishing. For more information on Fergiebaby , contact his Management at: Vrmanagement.pr@gmail.com 347-579-7745.
