Contemporary country music artist Drew Baldridge has been lighting up the radiowaves for years. Embracing traditional country sounds mixed with elements of R&B and pop, Baldridge is helping to redefine the genre. Born and raised in Patoka, Illinois, Baldridge discovered his passion for music while attending church as a child. From there, he began learning piano before picking up a guitar in his teens. Throughout his formative years, Baldridge balanced his love of baseball and basketball with his unfaltering passion for music. After performing the National Anthem at most of his games and after seeing Josh Turner live, Baldridge packed his bags and moved to Nashville to hone his skills as a performer and songwriter. Now one of the most celebrated and well-loved emerging artists, Baldridge has a long and exciting career ahead of him.
Baldridge’s sensational debut single Dance With Ya entered the country music charts with a bang. From there, he would turn back to his traditional roots with Middle of Nowhere Kids, a homage to his hometown that top 50 track with no major label assistance. Without a doubt, simplicity lies at the heart of Baldridge’s songs. The reflective and reminiscence of Single Year, the “slow-burning gospel” of God’s People and the emotionally charged She’s Somebody’s Daughter all showcase Baldridge’s versatility and relatability as an artist. With truth and authenticity at the centre of everything Baldridge does, his impact on the industry will reflect throughout the years.
