Just like the legendary Arabic character for which he was named, King Ali Baba is Blessed with a lyrical talent that stands out in the Reggae / Dancehall fraternity. With a flow that fits any genre of music, King Ali Baba is the most talented artist to take the stage.
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica, but raised in Spanish Town, King Ali Baba was exposed to extreme poverty and lawlessness in small pockets of his community. Seeing this circumstance caused the King to rely on his faith in Rastafari, and use the poverty as a means of building his lyrical repertoire in music and change his destiny in Life.
As integral as the heart beat is to Life, Music is integral to the King as it was the only tool available to express the energy and thoughts he held inside. Always singing and dancing at school, Baba would continue his entertainment by visiting the local rum bar, and select chunes from artists such as the infamous Michigan and Smiley who he credits as giving him inspiration to pursue his career. Not long after, Baba began writing his own songs, which came naturally to him. "I have so many lyrics books in boxes back home from years and years ago - you could tell my life story from them. So many experiences, good times and bad, experiences and teachings I wanted to share with the world," says the King.
As the new millennium progresses, King Ali Baba continues to record and perform chunes that have every audience skanking and rocking. Chunes such as "Reminisce", "Smoke Weed", "Tippy Toe" and follow up track "Tippy Wine", "Life So Nice" and "Teenage Lover" are radio hits the world over, and draw audiences to hear the King perform. Baba has also collaborated with a number of artists, including the multi talented Sir Giant from Portugal and Alesha Dixon from London,UK.
With high profile performances in Germany, Italy , and working with Award winning producer Stephen 'dih Genius' McGregor, King Ali Baba shows that out of poverty can rise a true King.
