Victoria Baillie is already a highly respected recording artist in her own right, having won a Golden Guitar for “Best New Talent” at the 2010 Country Music Awards of Australia.

Barb Baillie has been an integral part of Victoria’s solo career as a guitarist and backing vocalist for most of her live shows and recordings and has toured as a musician with leading artists Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole and Troy Cassar-Daley. “As a duo, Baylou will bring an exciting and fresh new mainstream country sound to the Australian Country Music market with the backing of ABC Music and our partners Universal Music,” says Robert Patterson, Head of ABC Music. Baylou join a Country roster at ABC Music which includes leading Australian acts Lee Kernaghan, Sara Storer, McAlister Kemp, Jasmine Rae, Catherine Britt, Steve Forde, Peter McWhirter and Corey Colum, plus international stars Craig Campbell, Doc Walker, Dean Brody and Emerson Drive. “After working hard for many years in the music industry, we are thrilled that ABC Music have decided to support our new project, Baylou.
