With over 150k followers across<br />
her social media platforms and 99%<br />
of them teenagers, this rising teen<br />
country artist is stamping her name<br />
on country music. Bailey’s year<br />
began with an unusual trip across the<br />
country to participate in the infamous<br />
Hollywood Week of American Idol<br />
season 17. Earning the Golden Ticket<br />
was a valuable experience that allowed<br />
Bailey to showcase her talents and<br />
spread her I Won’t Be Silent message<br />
to the masses in collaboration with The<br />
Jason Foundation. Most recently, this<br />
PA native wrapped a full-fledged radio<br />
tour in support of her latest release<br />
to radio, Devil Won’t Take Me Down<br />
— currently #41 on the MusicRow<br />
Charts.<br />
With her radio hit Devil Won’t<br />
Take Me Down,” climbing the charts,<br />
she has also released The One. On<br />
what would have been his 21st<br />
birthday, Bailey James is dedicating<br />
this release to her older brother. Since<br />
losing him in 2017, Bailey<br />
and her family have openly<br />
shared their story in an<br />
effort to raise awareness<br />
of teen suicide. Today,<br />
teenagers and younger<br />
kids are no stranger to<br />
suicide. Recognizing this,<br />
Bailey is a role model to<br />
these kids. She receives<br />
daily messages from<br />
fans on her social<br />
media accounts and<br />
courageously uses her<br />
voice to speak of her own experiences.<br />
Even before her loss, The Jason<br />
Foundation (national organization<br />
that is dedicated to the prevention of<br />
youth suicide) admired Bailey’s ability<br />
to eloquently address the subject<br />
rather than treating it as taboo and<br />
made her their first National Youth<br />
Advocate to help raise awareness. The<br />
other advocates include Rascal Flatts<br />
and Charlie Daniels.<br />
