Bailey Rae started his musical career at school, where he studied the classical violin before he turned his attention to singing: "I started singing in church, I think, but people think it must be the gospel church because of the whole, you know, black assumption," "But that's not a Gospel at all, it's just your regular Brethren church, the middle class, where we'll sing this harmony every Sunday It's always been my favorite part of the service, the singing. "Bailey Rae was then transferred to a Baptist church, where youth leaders train rock bands at a local high school. Young church people write their own songs of praise and sing songs from Primal Scream. "We changed those words," Bailey Rae said on his website. "We do not want to offend regular church visitors." He recorded two albums with a youth group called Revive. The show in the church expanded Bailey Rae's musical horizon, and her love for making music compacted after the church youth leader offered to lend her money for her first guitar. In mid-adolescence, he was strongly influenced by Lenny Kravitz, also found rock legends Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. "I love the band during my teenage years, I want to somehow follow their footsteps and to create my own music."
