Born and raised in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with Irish and West Indian roots, Baptiste is a true Londoner cut from the fabric of his city. Growing up he was immersed in jazz/soul/reggae and house music playing on the vinyl and since he was able to talk his mouth has never been far from a microphone. Writing poetry has lead to lyrics being instinctively set to beats. With an intrinsic passion for the arts, making music has come naturally to this West London wordsmith.
