BLANKENSHIP SETS SAIL WITH MOSCO

Lone Star/Santa Anna Records has signed 18-year-old country singer Bayker Blankenship to an exclusive recording agreement. The Livingston, Tennessee, native soared to notoriety just weeks ago after going viral on TikTok. His breakout single, "Maxed Out," recently hit #2 on the Spotify viral chart and #43 on Apple Music's country chart.

“Bayker is one of the rare, special artists who possesses a pure, singular talent, matched only by his unaffected personality and big heart,” said Alamo/Santa Anna Records CEO Todd Moscowitz. “His authenticity, warmth and wit shine through on ‘Maxed Out,’ which is quickly establishing itself as a very reactive hit."

"Maxed Out" has TikTok on fire with more than 26k creations and 6m views. Blankenship expressed his gratitude for all those tuning in, writing, "Can't explain how much this means to me. Love y'all so much!!" He wasn't referring to us, of course.
