Kenneth Edmonds was born April 10, 1959, in Indianapolis and began playing in local R&B bands as a teenager. You'd be hard-pressed to name a '90s hitmaker with a track record more consistently successful and versatile than Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds. Yet their considerable success was eclipsed by his songwriting and production work for other artists, which linked him with some of the biggest stars and hit singles of the decade (and not just in the realm of R&B). His own recordings helped rejuvenate the R&B tradition of the smooth, sensitive, urban crooner and made him a staple of urban contemporary radio.
As a singer, producer, and songwriter, Babyface was an inescapable presence in virtually every major facet of pop music during the '90s.
