Biography

At 26, Baylor Wilson has already lived a life most people only dream about – excelling at competitive cheerleading, starring in Season 29 of NBC’s Survivor , scoring a country music publishing deal – all before graduating from college. But according to Baylor, these life-making moments were just a precursor to the abundant life she found when she met Jesus. When asked what exactly happened that prompted her to start writing songs about Jesus, she joyfully exclaims, “Jesus happened.” It’s not a bumper sticker platitude. Baylor’s over-the-top joy for the Lord radiates from deep within, spilling over onto everyone she meets. Produced by Jeff Pardo (Mandisa, Matthew West, Danny Gokey), Baylor’s first single, appropriately titled “Jesus Happened,” is her story of meeting Jesus and being changed from the inside out. Baylor’s country leaning vocals sparkle with her conviction, belting out how every part of her life’s been changed, sounding every bit like a country artist who got saved. “It’s sanctified country music,” Baylor says with a smile that matches the joy of the song. “After my encounter with Jesus, people would see me and say, ‘What happened to you?’ I figured out the easiest way to explain it was that Jesus happened!” With a debut this captivating and poetically autobiographical, it’s obvious Baylor Wilson’s story of redemption is just getting started. www.baylorwilson.com
