Career
Initially, Alec Bailey’s interest in music was not enough for him to consider it as a career. It changed after he turned 14. He took up singing, writing songs, and playing the guitar. He even joined a music group named Southern Style Band. Bailey can also play the piano.
He created his YouTube Channel on January 18, 2012. The first video was posted about ten months later, on November 16, 2012, and it was a cover of Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Merry Go 'Round’. He followed that up with Darius Rucker’s ‘Wagon Wheel’, uploaded on January 7, 2013. Over the next few years, he also covered Gary Allan’s ‘It ain’t the Whiskey’, Lee Brice’s ‘I Don’t Dance’, and Sam Smith’s ‘Stay with Me’. His obvious talent and rigorous work ethic shone through each of his performances and he began to amass a loyal group of followers.
In April 2014, he set up an account on the short-video sharing site Vine and began uploading snippets of his performances there as well. The response on Vine was even more encouraging than on YouTube. At the height of the platform’s popularity, he had over six hundred thousand followers.
Bailey joined the likes of Nash Grier and Safari Gage in the 2015 DigiTour line-up. They performed all across North America, in cities and towns, such as Westbury, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Vancouver, British Columbia.
