Name Origin:
He chose his stage name as an homage to Chet Baker:
"I listened to a lot of jazz and I was a big fan of ... the way he sang, when he moved into mainstream singing. He had this really fragile vocal stylethis really, broken, close-up and intimate style. The name is kind of just an ode to Chet Baker and the mood of music he used to playsomething I would like to at least pay homage to in my own music."
