by ROSTR

Bailey Zimmerman extended his management deal with Kevin "Chief" Zaruk, Simon Tikhman & Tracy Martin of The Core Entertainment.

Bailey Zimmerman is released by Elektra Records/Warner Music Nashville, booked by The Neal Agency & published by Warner Chappell Music.

Bailey Zimmerman, born on January 27, 2000, in Louisville, Illinois, is a rising star in the country music scene known for his powerful storytelling and genre-blending sound. He first gained attention in 2020 when snippets of his song "Never Comin' Home" went viral on TikTok, leading him to pursue a full-time music career. His breakout singles "Fall in Love" and "Rock and a Hard Place" both reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, contributing to his debut EP Leave the Light On, which became the biggest streaming country debut of all time. In 2023, he released his first full-length album, Religiously. The Album., which solidified his status as a major force in contemporary country music, earning him multiple award nominations and selling out shows across the country as part of his tour with Morgan Wallen.
