BLANKENSHIP BLASTS OFF
12/2/24

From covering Country hits on TikTok to climbing DSP charts, 18-year-old Bayker Blankenship is making waves with his breakout debut single, “Maxed Out.” The track hit 100m+ streams, #2 on the Spotify Viral charts and #41 on Apple Music’s Country chart, while its music video—shot in his Tennessee hometown—has earned 12m+ views.

Over the weekend, Blankenship made his TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning, performing the viral hit and “Tennessee Sunset,” as well as debuting his forthcoming single “300 Miles.”

Blankenship will release his Double A-Side release "300 Miles”/"Blame It on Me,” on 12/11 via Lone Star/Santa Anna Records, while his second collaborative single with fellow rising star Waylon Wyatt is due in January. The pair’s recent duet “Jailbreak” is currently taking off on YouTube and TikTok.

“Bayker is one of the rare, special artists who possesses a pure, singular talent, matched only by his unaffected personality and big heart,” said Todd Moscowitz, CEO Lone Star/Santa Anna Records.

And to kick off what will surely be a busy year for the up and comer, Blankenship will hit the road on 1/15 for first national tour, which is nearly sold out.
