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, breaking a record previously held by Aaron Watson in 2017. Following the success of “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” Baldridge has partnered with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville for his next single, “Tough People,” which is available now on all digital platforms and will hit radio on November 4 via Stoney Creek Records.

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 his Drew Baldridge Live headline dates. He will also join Cody Johnson’s Leather Deluxe Tour in 2025, with additional tours to be announced. When he’s not writing and recording, he hosts a weekly radio show on LA’s Go Country (KKGO) every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM PT.
