Baptized Warren Niles Baker, ( the surname Boulanger - pronounced "Boo-Lawn-Jay" - was translated to English by French-Canadian ancestry ) Warren grew up in the south Louisiana city of Baton Rouge. Though attending music school on a percussion scholarship, he had a deep desire to write and so majored in music theory and composition. It was there that he took up piano as a second instrument. His instrumental and vocal music has been extremely well received wherever he has performed, be it for concert, banquet, coffeehouse or seminar.
