Many people lead productive lives and build successful careers in their fields, but few make history—Drew Baldridge is in that elite class. When his song “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” climbed to No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart, it became the first self-released single to reach that summit for an artist’s debut No. 1. This remarkable feat not only propelled Baldridge’s career but also serves as an inspiration to anyone who believes that dreams can come true. The RIAA GOLD-certified viral hit has garnered over 1.1 billion streams and impressions across all platforms, making history as the highest-charting self-funded song ever on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Following the success of “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” Baldridge has partnered with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville/Stoney Creek for his new single, “Tough People,” which is currently Top 20-and-climbing on the country radio charts. He was also recently named as part of the CRS New Faces class of 2025 as well as an iHeart On the Verge artist. An acclaimed songwriter signed to Sony Music Publishing, Baldridge has over 500 songs to his credit, with cuts by artists including Bailey Zimmerman, LOCASH, and Chase Matthew. He has shared the stage with prominent artists such as Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan, and is currently on the road for Cody Johnson’s Leather Deluxe Tour and will join Bailey Zimmerman’s New to Country Tour later this year.
