Myers, BabyJake is the latest music artist to acquire buzz out of South West, Florida. While his entry into music started at a young age, his plan out of high school was to play college sports. After a year, he dropped out and returned home to record and release music under his government name, Jake Herring. After self-releasing an EP titled "Little Mess", and a single, “Miami” that garnered attention online, he connected with producers Luyo Mario and DVLP who saw Jake’s true potential for stardom. He inked a deal with School Boy Records and Republic Records through DVLP’s Transcendent Entertainment imprint after catching the attention of Scooter Braun with a new name [BabyJake] and a whole new angle to his craft. Harnessing his knack for strong songwriting through his folk past mixed with his love of hip-hop, BabyJake is geared to mix genres and feelings in a way that’s never been done before. “My goal is to reach out to people and connect to their hearts the way my lyrics connect to mine,” he says. “You don’t have to have the same experiences to have the same feelings.”

BabyJake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buenas noches, damas y caballeros
Espero que estén disfrutando el momento hasta ahora
Y que la intriga de lo que viene a continuación no sea de arrepentirse
Aunque les prometo, que si ese fuera el caso, les ayudará a escapar durante el descanso

Quiero que sepan que están muy muy bienvenidos a este momento tan especial
Donde se reúnen unas personas únicas a recibir al gran maestro
El gringo que nos entiende sin entendernos

La persona que llena tu inquietud con buen vino a la espera de su presencia

Aquí les presento, BabyJake
