Not making it big on Broadway might have been frustrating for Baylen Leonard but it was the UK’s gain as, despite having grown up in relative poverty in the Tennessee foothills, he’s now a well known radio presenter, DJ and broadcaster based in London, well known for having been an integral part of the popular Danny Baker’s team on BBC Radio London, and spreading the country music love around the world. He’s also on first name terms with Dolly Parton, now that to me is better than any Broadway part. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
