Born in Queens, New York, Baby Triggy’s career started at the age of ten. He was out with his father when they dropped by his dad’s friends’ music studio. Baby Triggy was blown away hearing the sounds of rap music. He asked his dad if he could give it a try and was told “it’s not as easy as it sounds.” His father’s friend said “give him a shot” and shortly after hearing the young man, they were both amazed.
Baby Triggy got his name from Mr. Fingers, who put the stamp on artists such as Jay-Z, DMX, Ja-Rule, and Fabolous. During an initial recording session, Mr. Fingers was impressed with Baby Triggy’s ability to get it right the first time, saying he’s a baby gunner, “a baby triggy.” The name has stuck since then.
At the age of eleven, Baby Triggy was offered a deal with a major record label. After discussing it with his family, he decided to wait until he was a little older. Since that first day in the recording studio he has gone on to record several songs. “Ice Cream”, “Crazy Days”, “Shine”, “Fran”, “My Imagination”, and “I’m Just a Kid” are all singles that can be enjoyed on Baby Triggy’s MySpace page. He’s quickly amassed over 398,000 friends and over 1.25 million views on his MySpace page! The spectacular new single “Ice Cream” has received phenomenal reviews and over 745,000 listens by fans.
