Bailey Zimmerman

Bailey Zimmerman, born January 27, 2000, in Louisville, Illinois, is an American country singer and songwriter. His path to music began unexpectedly when a Snapchat video of him singing Black Stone Cherry's "Stay" at his stepbrother's shop caught the attention of songwriter Gavin Lucas. Lucas encouraged Zimmerman to pursue his own musical endeavors, leading to their collaboration on Zimmerman's first song, "Never Comin' Home."

Released on TikTok in December 2020, "Never Comin' Home" quickly gained viral momentum, surpassing one million views in just five hours. This overwhelming response motivated Zimmerman to record the song professionally and leave his job to focus on his music career. His gamble proved successful as the song garnered significant attention, paving the way for his debut performance and subsequent signing with Core Entertainment in 2021.
