One of Bailey Hefley's first memories was as a three-year-old, telling her mother that she wanted to be a country singer. As a five-year-old, she took the stage for the first time, singing Shirley Temple's "Baby Take a Bow" at her kindergarten talent show. As a teen, Bailey was ready to begin fulfilling her dream of country stardom, drawing inspiration from heroes like Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, and Shania Twain, whose Live VHS tape captured her imagination. Bailey also experienced a creative evolution. Her parents had already recognized her vocal talent and knack for melody and lyrics when she was a child, but they quickly realized something brand new had blossomed. Soon, singing lessons, local gigs at the White Water Tavern in Little Rock, and trips to Nashville were on the family's calendar, and the teenager began co-writing with other artists and even tracked her first demos. Doors opened, and doors closed, but Bailey drew confidence from small victories she garnered along the way, like opening for Hank Williams Jr. at Little Rock's RiverFest or besting Brett Eldredge in a local singing competition. After studying voice at Nashville's Belmont University from 2009–2010 and continuing to pursue a degree at the University of Arkansas from 2010–2012, Bailey moved to Music City for good in May of 2012 — this time with her sights solely set on her music career. Armed with a quick wit and charismatic personality that brings to mind the "Friends" era Jennifer Aniston, Bailey has shared her songs at writers' rounds and opened for artists including Old Dominion, Ashley McBryde, Deana Carter, and fellow Arkansan, Justin Moore. Her tireless work ethic has led her to hone her craft, resulting in her debut album, Forever 20 Something, produced by Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown, Natasha Bedingfield/Rascal Flatts) and Davix Foreman (Keyshia Cole, Timbaland, Nicky Jam) scheduled for release in the fall of 2020.
