Spensha Baker, best known for being a part of Team Blake on season 14 of NBC’s The Voice, has joined another country artist for her next venture; she has officially signed with Jay DeMarcus’ Nashville-based Red Street Records (RSR). Known for her soulful sound with a country twist, Spensha is looking to bring her own spin to the Christian music industry and is already gearing up to work on an album.
“When I first heard Spensha sing, I was captivated by her voice,” shares Jay DeMarcus, CEO and owner of Red Street Records. “When we finally met and she shared her passion for music and God, we knew we wanted to be a part of her musical journey. We are excited for the road ahead.”
The Virginia and San Antonio native gained national attention when she auditioned on NBC’s The Voice in 2018 and after performing a moving rendition of “Blackbird” where she made Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton turn their chairs, she ultimately decided to join Team Blake. Spensha continued to wow viewers each week with her performances and it led her all the way to the Top 4, making her the first African-American country singer to make it that far in the competition.
“Spensha is one of the most incredible singers I have ever had the pleasure of partnering with,” said Mark Lusk, President and CEO of RSR. “I love her voice, her presence and her love for God. So proud she chose to work with Red Street.”
“While it’s always an honor to be able to share my gifts with the world, it’s even more of an honor to do so with people who believe in the vision,” shares Spensha. “I’m so excited to be a part of the Red Street Records family and look forward to the best days ahead!”
Recording artist Spensha Baker is breaking barriers in music, with a genre-defying sound steeped in gospel roots. Her songs from The Voice have consistently landed in the top 10 on iTunes, with her rendition of the original song, Old Soul, reaching #1 on the country charts and #3 on the overall charts. Performing since the age of six, Spensha got her start in gospel music, making appearances on Christian Artist Talent Search and Star Search, before signing with Geffen Records to release her debut album, “Outloud!” at the age of 15. With both of her parents being former military veterans, Spensha spent most of her childhood constantly moving to different military bases, developing a strong and committed love for GOD and country.
Spensha will join veteran Christian artists on the RSR roster including Jason Crabb and Avalon, as well as rising stars Cade Thompson, Iveth Luna and Lauren Camey.
