NAME
Robert Baldwin

AKA
BALDWIN aka BIG STEEL aka pro "in the mix"!

MUSIC SPECIALTIES/SPECIAL MUSIC TALENTS/MUSICAL TRAINING
Songwriter / Vocalist - spent most of my life writing some form of poetry. In my early years I always seen my mom write lots of poetry, and I assume I drew inspiration form her. In one of my songs called OLD MAN I wrote "Momma Gave me the bic". this is true. I always listen to the lyrical content of all music. I like to get into the writers mind and feel what they felt when they wrote song.

MUSIC BACKGROUND/BAND-GROUP HISTORY
Long time veteran. Been a pioneer in the Delaware music scene for over 13years. One of the most accomplished local artists ever from Delaware. Long time friend / co-creator with Mattie Moz. Years of fermenting have finally produced great wine.

PEOPLE WHO WERE MOST INFLUENTIAL TO YOU AND YOUR MUSIC
I have been influenced by so many people.... My mom, Dad, Traps, Robert Plant, Michael Jackson, Chuck D, Method Man, Redman, Nas, Mobb Deep, Common, Prince, The Roots, Bunny Sigler, Talib Kweli, Marvin Gaye, Armando Gonzales, really all the songwriters, of all the songs that have ever given me inspiration.

BIGGEST PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT-SPECIAL MOMENT IN MUSIC CAREER
I divide my achievements into a couple of categories... my biggest Monetary Achievement so far was having two of my songs licensed and used on CBS series HACK in 2003. My personal biggest achievement was successfully organizing a benefit for the parents of a local child who was murdered in 2001. Biggest song achievement would have to be a song called "After That" probably my favorite composition I have ever been a part of. The best move I have made so far was working and growing with DelFuMo.Biggest personal accomplishment was recently having gastric by-pass surgery and losing over 235lbs so far. The joy of my life, my Kids (bear & diggy)

GOALS - ARTISTS/PRODUCERS/MUSICIANS YOU WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH SOMEDAY
My goal is to touch the masses, and reach the people. I would love work with so many artists I can't name them all. I want to completely bridge the gap in music, I mean it would be a obvious choice to say I want to do a song with Jay-Z or get track from Dr. Dre and I do, but I also would like to collab with Norah Jones, or Eddie Vedder, or Santana... Another major goal is to get a skybox and season tickets to the Steelers!

OUTSIDE INTERESTS/OTHER TALENTS
PITTSBURGH STEELERS fan to the core.... father to my two sons, at the present I oversee what we have going on in DelFuMo. Hoping that will change when we get a real kick ass experienced Manager.

SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH THE MOBB
Since DelFuMo's original conception was in 1996, I have had several moments in the mobb that stand out to me. I mean Erpp and I go back to 96', and anyone who knows Erpp like I do, can't be around that guy all these years and not have many special moments. but in this the best version of DelFuMo, would have been recording in January of 2005 with Moz, Erpp, Neja, and Ed.. we were recording one of our originals called SAY SUMTHIN. and when Neja was singing the hook, I just looked around the studio at everyone else, and I knew I was finally home. The song itself needs much more work to it, but it will always be; to me; the masterpiece that altered my course on this journey. We had recorded a few other songs prior to that, but SAY SUMTHIN made it all official to me. Our luckiest moment has happened when Polls joined the MOBB. its always interesting.

WORDS OF WISDOM - MUSIC RELATED ISSUES / HIP-HOP / RACE / WAR / LOVE / LIFE / ETC.
I NEED to write! its how I cope! I need to run to my "rhyme book" and tell it how I feel. Its my best friend, my outlet, my twin. when all is wrong in my world, my rhyme book always makes it write! I am driven to write by all emotions, and it allows me to keep my sanity.
