His music style is often categorized as Americana or country.

Baird relocated from Memphis, Tennessee to Fort Worth, Texas in 2005 to attend Texas Christian University, where he earned a degree in Entrepreneurial Management. During his time at Texas Christian, at the age of 21, he recorded his debut project. The album Blue Eyed Angels was produced by Scott Davis and featured musicians from Hayes Carll's band. That initial effort featured the singles, “Fade Away” (a top 5 single on the Texas Music Chart), “Could Have Been My Baby,” and the title track.

In 2012 Baird followed up Blue Eyed Angels with I Swear It’s The Truth, named one of the top twenty albums of the year by Spin Magazine. This effort showcased his influences, including Tom Petty, Chris Knight, and Robert Earl Keen. I Swear It’s The Truth featured the hit single, “Dreams and Gasoline” which was added to XM’s “The Highway” and was featured in the ABC drama, Nashville (2012 TV series). The video for the single was shot in Joshua Tree, CA and was supported by CMT and their multiple platforms.
