“Bailee has had a crazy summer and has worked so hard,” her manager Matt Crumpton said. “I’m excited to see what she does next.”
Her single, “Halo at Home,” was released in June. Allon Music Group, the record company that produced the single, has worked with artists such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, DJ Tiesto, Lady Gaga, Drake and Mac Miller.
“I don’t want to get high hopes up or anything, so I won’t be let down,” Moore said during a previous interview in June before the single’s release. “Now I’m just going to see where it takes me. In the end, I know if I’m able to balance it all and work hard, it’ll all be worth it.”
Moore has also noticed an increase in her fan base after witnessing a crowd in Cincinnati screaming her name before the concert. Her Facebook page has reached more than 45,000 likes.
Moore’s EP is expected to be released in the fall. Crumpton said the record will feature four songs and will be more substantial than the singles Moore has released so far. She is also working to plan her first tour, which would begin in October or November, Crumpton said.
“The world can’t wait for you to share it with them, when does it come out,” one of Moore’s fans, Ben Allen, wrote on her Facebook page.
“I’m very excited,” Moore said in June. “It’s all been an amazing experience and I feel so lucky.”
