Mini bio
How it started.
Born Jonathan Kirk in Cleveland and raised in Charlotte, DaBaby first recorded as Baby Jesus. He built his early audience through mixtapes, including the Baby Talk series and Blank Blank, before releasing Baby on Baby in March 2019.
The breakout.
“Suge” became his first Hot 100 top 10 single. His deep voice, quick flows and comic video characters gave fans plenty to recognize, and XXL selected him for its 2019 Freshman class. KIRK then reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Beyond the first hits.
“ROCKSTAR,” with Roddy Ricch, spent seven weeks atop the Hot 100. Collaborations with artists including Dua Lipa extended his reach, while Be More Grateful brought a new album in January 2026.
