Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Quells Baby has carved out an inspiring niche for himself in the media landscape. With a career that spans the entertainment, restaurant, and media industries, he brings a unique blend of positivity, passion, and a commitment to his community. When you chat with him, it’s clear that his enthusiasm is fueled by a belief in the power of a positive mindset, perseverance, and spirituality.
“I truly believe these are keys to success and happiness in life,” Quells Baby shares, adding with a grin, “Oh, and my favorite color is red—I love drinking soda water and steak is my jam!”
Quells Baby’s journey into media wasn’t a straight path; rather, it unfolded in unexpected ways. Initially, he was drawn to the idea of starting a record label, but a suggestion from his debate coach opened a new door. “He recommended I explore radio, and that piqued my interest,” Quells Baby recalls.
After landing his first radio internship at 18, he dove headfirst into the world of broadcasting. “I have so many stories from those early days,” he laughs, recalling his extroverted high school self—active in a rap group, drama club, and even as captain of the debate team.
Quells Baby’s education at Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts provided a formal introduction to radio and television. “It was thrilling to be interning at a popular Detroit station while still a teenager,” he reflects. He later pursued a degree in Mass Communications with a minor in Public Relations at Rochester College, creating a rich mix of hands-on experience and academic knowledge. “Imagine asking your professor if you can miss class for a broadcast!” he chuckles.
As the host of a show on Hot 107.5 WGPR Detroit, Quells Baby brings his passion for community to the airwaves every Sunday morning. His show, aptly titled “Gospel Sundays,” features a mix of classic and current Gospel music alongside inspirational commentary. “It’s all about connecting with listeners and uplifting spirits,” he explains. “The phone lines stay active with requests, and I love that engagement.”
Quells Baby has had the pleasure of interviewing a diverse range of guests, from positive rappers to influential Gospel artists. Each interaction leaves a mark on him, but some stand out more than others. “Kid Jay is one of my favorite, but I cherish every unique experience,” he shares.
One particularly memorable moment came when a listener called in from jail on Easter, expressing how the show helped him cope with incarceration. “I love bringing people together and helping to heal relationships,” Quells Baby adds, reflecting on another call from a listener who reconciled with a family member live on air.
When he’s not behind the mic, Quells Baby is a dedicated gym-goer and foodie. His passion for cooking has evolved recently, with a newfound interest in mocktails and food presentation. “I’ve gained acclaim for my work in the service and hospitality industry,” he says. “I love showcasing great dishes on my Instagram.”
Quells Baby’s culinary journey includes experimenting with his new air fryer, which has become a game changer for making salmon and catfish bites. “And don’t get me started on ribeye steak!” he laughs.
For those looking to follow in his footsteps, Quells Baby offers sage advice: “Get your foot in the door. Once you do, capitalize on every opportunity. It’s easy to give up, but if you’re passionate, you’ll succeed. Building relationships is key. Remember, serving the public and being a team player are paramount in this industry.”
Quells Baby is excited about what’s next and invites everyone to join his journey. “Follow me on Instagram @quellsbb and check out my Facebook fan page, The Quells Baby Fan Club. I love to keep everyone updated and engaged!”
With a dynamic personality and a heart for his community, Quells Baby is not just a radio host—he’s a beacon of inspiration, proving that with determination and positivity, anything is possible.
