Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds (born April 10, 1958 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a successful African American R&B and pop singer, songwriter, keyboardist, record producer, film producer, and entreprenuer.

Edmonds, who was the youngest of six brothers, attended North Central High School and as a shy youth, wrote songs to express his emotions. Edmonds later played with funk superstar Bootsy Collins, who tagged him "Babyface" while he was still a teen, and the nickname has stuck with him throughout his life. He also played in the groups Manchild (which had a 1977 hit "Especially for You"), then in the light-funk and R&B group The Deele, which recorded three albums during the 1980s. Towards the end of the Deele's run, Babyface signed a solo deal with Solar Records, releasing his debut, Lovers, in 1986.
