Jessica Baio, originally from Auburn, California, just finished her first headlining tour across the country. With a following of over 2.4 million on her music TikTok page and 4.4 million on her page with her husband, 23-year-old Jessica Baio stunned on her highly anticipated first headlining tour. 

Last year, Jessica joined artist Natalie Jane on her Where Am I Again tour across the country, but was announced as the opener after the tour had already sold out. Many of Jessica’s fans were bummed to not be able to get tickets but were excited when Jessica announced she would be touring 19 different cities a year later. 

The tour was a success after multiple cities had to upgrade venues due to high demand, and most shows sold out quickly. After opener Jake Clark hit the stage at Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco on March 24, 2025, Jessica graced the stage starting with her song “Bite The Bullet”.

Her setlist included slow ballads such as “Someday” and “Break Up With Me” to upbeat songs like “He Loves Me He Loves Me Not” and her brand-new song “Radio” with world-renowned DJ Steve Aoki and Trippie Redd. She ended her show singing “Trust Issues”, which has accumulated over 51 million streams on Spotify alone.

It was incredible and heartwarming to hear everyone singing Jessica’s songs as loud as they could before and after her describing “little Jess” being 12 years old in Auburn with her mom driving her around for hours to different auditions, only to be told “no” time and time again. 

After returning home for less than 24 hours, Jessica was invited to perform “Radio” with Steve Aoki and Trippie Redd at Ultra Music Festival for over 50,000 fans. 

Jessica Baio’s performance proves that no matter where you come from, with perseverance and dedication, you can make your dreams a reality. Even though Jessica has been uploading videos for years, starting at 9 years old on YouTube, this is certainly not the beginning or end of her music career.

Recently, Jessica showed a side-by-side of her singing Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” at age 11, which gained her her first viral video (currently at 6.7 million views), with her singing the song now. 

She also has recently stated in a video with her husband, Sam, that there is talk and looking for dates for a tour in the U.K. After having just finished her tour a little over two weeks ago, she has already announced she is writing new music. 

So, stay tuned.
