Backstreet Boys star Brian Litrrell recently teased that his 22-year-old son Baylee auditioned for the new season of American Idol. Season 23 of the talent show is set to premiere on Sunday, March 9.


Brian Littrell’s Son Auditioned for American Idol

In a recent interview with Today, Backstreet Boys star Brian Littrell shared that his son Baylee auditioned for Season 23 of American Idol, saying, “He’s actually on the new American Idol this season, which is a little caveat of information.”

Baylee himself posted about his upcoming Idol appearance on Instagram earlier this month. Littrell showed his support in the comments, joking that “we’re all counting on you.”

“He was just texting me last night, going, ‘Dad, dude, how do you do this? Like, it’s hard work,’” Littrell said of his son’s experience in the music industry. “He’s been busting his butt, and I’m super proud of him. He kind of gets a new sense of reality of what this is.”


Littrell was the first member of the Backstreet Boys to become a father. He and his wife Leighanne welcomed Baylee in 2002. As a child, Baylee joined the group on the road, even introducing them on stage.

Baylee Has Pursued Music from a Young Age

At age 13, Baylee made his Broadway debut in the musical Disaster! and later released his debut album, 770-Country, in 2019. He was also the opening act for the Backstreet Boys’ DNA Tour that same year. Then in 2022, he released EP, Vol. 1.


Baylee is a country singer. The genre has been very popular on American Idol in recent years, and this season’s judging panel will feature not one but two country stars — Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood. Is this good news for Baylee, or does it just mean tougher competition?

We’ll have to wait and see how Baylee’s audition goes when Season 23 of American Idol kicks off next month on ABC. In the meantime, you can follow his music career on Instagram.
