He studied Gospel music while in college and enjoyed listening to Edwin Hawkins and Andre Crouch.:
In 1988 Baldwin released his first album through Malaco Records. During then he also submitted his project to the Sony Innovators Award competition where his talents were recognized by Roberta Flack who later selected him as the frontrunner of over 300 applicants. This recognition led to a deal with Atlantic Jazz under the leadership of Sylvia Rhone and the first of nine releases was produced. In 1996 he developed his own production company called City Sketches, Inc., distributed by 215 Music, and he will soon release his first DVD as well as his 11th CD in Spring of 2007. Later in 2007, look for the first Baldwin Recording using the legendary Baldwin Piano.:
