Bailey Marie’s journey began when she stepped onto the stage of the legendary Apollo Theater at just 10 years old — a defining moment that lit the spark of her musical calling. Hailing from North Carolina, Bailey blends her country roots with a fresh country edge, crafting songs that tell her truth with heart, grit, and soul.
Bailey’s passion for performing led to national headlines when she was expelled from her Christian high school for singing at venues that serve alcohol — a moment that could’ve stopped her, but instead fueled her fire. Turning heartbreak into hope, Bailey doubled down on her dreams, writing over 70 original songs with hit Nashville writers and working alongside Grammy-nominated producer Kent Wells (Dolly Parton).
Bailey has since opened for country powerhouses like Lainey Wilson, Gwen Stefani, and John Michael Montgomery, and performed everywhere from Hollywood’s Roxy to Coyote Joe’s in Charlotte. Also an accomplished actor, she appears as Marianne in Apple TV’s Swagger and Ashley Zamperini in HBO Max’s The Staircase.
Now performing at major festivals like Carolina Country Music Fest and Lovin’ Life Fest, Bailey continues to prove that no rule, no setback, and no closed door can stop a girl with a voice meant to be heard.
