Babyface

Babyface brings his refined take on R&B to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls on September 12, 2026. Known offstage as Kenneth Brian Edmonds, he came up in the 1980s with Manchild and The Deele before stepping out solo, shaping a sound built on melody, gentle swing and song‑first production. From Lovers and Tender Lover to For the Cool in You and The Day, his writing leans into slow-burn ballads, steady tempos and harmonies kept clear and uncluttered.

Co‑founder with L.A. Reid of LaFace Records, he became a central figure behind the scenes while crafting songs and productions for Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, TLC, Madonna and Eric Clapton. On stage, he draws from that catalog and later projects—Playlist, the duet album Love, Marriage & Divorce with Toni Braxton, and Girls Night Out—bridging new jack swing roots with mature, soulful R&B. Voice up front, grooves that take their time, and arrangements built for the song: Babyface plays it close and lets the writing lead.
