According to Andrew-Jaja, the tradition began during his period as a resident doctor and was inspired by one of his teachers.

"There was a doctor who used to sing 'Happy Birthday' with great encouragement to their babies," the doctor explained to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2002. "I liked that, and I would join him and sing it together. When he was retiring, he asked me to continue that tradition. 'It's yours,' he told me.”

Since then, the kind doctor has continued to sing to the babies he welcomes to the world. "When I'm singing to those babies, I think I'm singing to a person who will be someone important in the future," he said.
