thumb Baby Tate (rapper) Tate Sequoya Farris (born May 13, 1996), known professionally as Baby Tate (formerly known as Yung Baby Tate), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Quotes Being an artist means being myself and using the gifts God has granted me to bring joy into the world. Being an artist is self expression, self love, self indulgence and selflessness at the same time. The vulnerability it takes to openly express yourself for the entire world to hear, love, hate, relate to, or critique is scary at times but that’s what being an artist is all about. I identify as a bisexual black woman. I think all people should be represented in music, tv, in politics, anywhere that has some type of broad visibility. Everyone needs to feel seen and heard and understood. It’s important for me as a black girl to show young black girls they can be successful by just being themselves - every part of themselves -and shining their light in the world. I went to performing arts school from 3rd-12th grade. I’ve been professionally trained in music, acting, piano, and dance throughout those years and after high school. Having that type of upbringing just expands my knowledge and love for music so that when I make music I actually know what I’m doing. A lot of artists right now don’t know the first thing about composing a song or arranging vocals. I’m grateful to not be one of those artists. My mom raised me to have knowledge and culture in music. She made sure I was well rounded and well versed. A lot of the songs that the grandmas and aunties of today tell kids my age and younger “you don’t know nothing about this” I know a whole lot about. She wanted me to be educated in music so she made sure I got the proper training that would strengthen my natural inheritance from her. I got a lot from my teachers and instructors but my mom really taught me everything I know. My dream collaboration is Pharrell. Imagine a project produced and written and performed by us both. Iconic. It needs to happen so I know it will one day. I’m waiting on you, P! A CONVERSATION WITH YUNG BABY TATE;By Nadirah Simmons,Retrieved on APRIL 8, 2019 It’s like being a runner. You have to keep a pace. You can dart to the finish line at the end. But, if you start super fast, you’re going to lose your breath and someone is going to whiz past you. When I first started performing outside of school, my stage name was Tate in 2015. That’s when I started doing shows around Atlanta. I don’t think it was until 2017 that I changed my name to Yung Baby Tate. That was always my social media handle since I was in 10th grade, so as I got more known around the city, people would announce me like, ‘Yung Baby Tate.’ Tour Tales | Yung Baby Tate details her performing style, touring with Leikeli47 and more;By KEITH NELSON JR External links Category:1996 births Category:Living people Category:African Americans Category:Rappers from the United States Category:Women singers from the United States Category:Pansexual people Category:Music producers from the United States Category:Singer-songwriters from the United States Category:People from Atlanta
