Sweet Baboo

Sweet Baboo is the musical alias of Welsh singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Black, whose idiosyncratic style encompasses psychedelia, indie pop, folk, electronic, and even classical music. Active since the early 2000s, Black has maintained a prolific output during his first two decades, with albums like 2011's I'm a Dancer/Songs About Sleepin' and 2017's Wild Imagination earning nominations for the Welsh Music Prize. Alongside his work as Sweet Baboo, Black is also one-half of the avant-garde clarinet and piano duo Group Listening with longtime collaborator Paul Jones. Although many of his recordings have appeared on the Moshi Moshi label, Black has also spearheaded his own imprints including Amazing Tapes from Canton, which released his 2023 full-length The Wreckage.
