New Jersey native, Cory Easterling known to the world as BabyBoy “The Magnificent”, knew as a young child that his purpose in life was to sing. He grew up under his family’s deep love for soulful music. As a young boy, he began singing in church and in local talent shows. During his teenage years, BabyBoy built a reputation for being musically gifted. He began writing song for himself and other artist. Now as an adult, he continues to break down those musical barriers with his traditional and contemporary style.
The meaning behind the name “rhythm” part comes from the music’s typical dependence on four-beat measures or bars and the liberal use of a backbeat, in which the second and fourth beats are accented in each measure. And the “blues” portion comes from the lyrics and melodies of the songs, which were often sad. This music genre combines elements of rhythm and blues, pop, soul, funk, hip hop and electronic music. R&B features a distinctive record production style, drum machine-backed rhythms, pitch corrected vocals, and a smooth, lush style of vocal arrangements.
