American Idol airs its Hollywood round episode this week for season 19 on ABC. One contestant taking part who got his golden ticket and made it through to the next rounds is Presley Barker. Before the March 21 episode, we gathered five facts on the young talent. So, if you want to learn more about him, keep reading below.
1) He’s been singing since he was 2 years old! Well, as much as any 2 year old can anyhow. “Back when I got started,” he joked. Check out this black and white photo of him holding the microphone and guitar!
2) While he’s not verified on Instagram, he has a steady following. 12.8K and counting! Perhaps when he’s on this week’s Idol episode, he’ll finally get that blue check mark. You could follow him @thepresleybarker.
3) Presley’s a country music singer/songwriter hailing from the south in North Carolina. His newest single is called “Middle of Somewhere.”
4) He’s close with family. His mom’s name is Julie; dad’s Eric; his little brother’s named Luke.
5) When he’s not singing, he enjoys the country life. He grew up on farmland in North Carolina. From tractor trailers to cattle hoof trimming, he’s done it all. They have the perfect set of land to go bike riding or hunting on too.
To see Presley in action, check out American Idol as they start the Hollywood rounds on March 21 at 8 PM ET, only on ABC.
