Meet the tot who can't stand the children's hit "Baby shark" and prefers to listen to - 70s Motown, soul and R&B classics.

Ace Morris, one, has been a fan of Motown, soul and funk classics since before he was even born.

Mom Melissa Morris, 36, used to play music for him using pregnancy headphones every day.

At 1-years-old, Ace already knows all the classics and often requests his mom to play some his favorites.

He is a big fan of Michael Jackson, The O'Jays, and The gap Band and his favorite song is "What You Won't do for Love," by Bobby Caldwell.

Adorable videos show Ace busting some moves to his favorite music and asking his mom to play soul singer Teddy Pendergrass and R&B crooner Bobby Caldwell.

Melissa, a stay-at-home mom, said: "When I was pregnant, we had headphones to play it for him in my stomach, and he would just kick all day. He loved it."

As a result, Ace now refuses to listen to the songs one would expect from a one-year-old, such as the smash-hit children's song "Baby Shark."

"I've had him look at me and say, 'No Baby Shark, mommy, no.'" Melissa added.

Music runs deep in Ace's family, who live in Detroit, Mich., Motown's birthplace.

Melissa added: "We're just fans ourselves. The music just resonates with us. I'm from Detroit, so it runs in our blood."

Melissa and Ace's father, Jonathan, 41, are overjoyed to see him so passionate about music.

She added: "I'm so proud of him. Anything that makes him happy makes me happy. I'm overjoyed to see him light up when he hears his songs.

"Jonathan is his biggest hype man. He hypes him up every time he sees him dancing.

"Other people think it's hilarious. Ace will tell me what to play so he can show off his moves.

"I think being a musician is in his future. He'll tell me: 'Guitar, mommy guitar'! I think it's his future."
