WMG’s Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Music Group have inked country breakout Bailey Zimmerman.

Pulling in nearly 5m global streams weekly, the 22-year-old Louisville, IL. native has independently amassed close to 100m global streams to date since the release of his 2021 viral track, “Never Comin’ Home,” and most recently dropped an acoustic rendition of the fan-favorite, “Fall in Love.”

Additionally, the singer/songwriter is gearing up for a performance on Thursday (4/14) as part of the Whiskey Jam music series at Nashville’s Winners Bar before hitting the road for select tour dates later this year.

Zimmerman is co-managed by The CORE Entertainment’s CEO/Co-Founder’s Simon Tikhman and Chief Zaruk, and 10th St Entertainment’s Chris Nilsson and Scott Frazier.
