Bailey Zimmerman is a country singer and songwriter who went viral on TikTok in 2021, after he posted videos of his truck with his own music in the background. Since 2021 Zimmerman has had a very successful career winning two CMT awards which are fan-voted awards for country music and videos. He was a Nominee for Country song of the year at the iHeartRadio Awards, for the song “Rock and A Hard Place.” Zimmerman also scored the biggest streaming country debut of all time and most streamed all-genre in 2022. He got his interest in Country from his father who had a trucking company. On long trips they would listen to country music together. Zimmerman started playing guitar at age nine. He spent much of his childhood riding dirt bikes and playing baseball. His first released song in 2020 “Never Comin’ Home,” reached top 10 on Spotify’s Viral Chart in the United States. In 2022 he signed with Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Records, and soon after, released his first album “Leave the Light On.” Zimmerman has just released a new song a week ago called “Holy Smokes” and he does plan to build an album off of it.
