Twenty-year-old Bayker Blankenship from Livingston, Tennessee, has had one heck of a start to his career, going from playing his first hometown gigs to signing his first record deal and going viral with his first hit “Maxed Out” in a short amount of time. “Maxed Out” hit new peaks at such an incredible speed,reaching RIAA Gold Certification in just 9 months. It also reached #2 on the Spotify Viral charts, #43 on Apple Country, secured him a feature on CBS’ Saturday Sessions, and is quickly on it’s way to Platinum certification as well.  “Maxed Out” highlights Bayker as one of Country’s rising stars, with fans falling for his bright personality and warm heart along the way. Bayker’s debut EP “Younger Years” was released in July 2024, and hit over 4M+ streams in the first week, making it obvious he is far from a one-hit wonder.
