Baldridge writes and records music as Semler, chosen both because of the name's links to her maternal family history and because she prefers her music to be experienced from a gender-neutral viewpoint.
In February 2021 she released an EP, Preacher's Kid, about being a queer Christian, which she recorded at home and promoted herself. She chose to categorise it as a Christian album, and shortly after release it reached the top of the iTunes Christian chart, supplanting Lauren Daigle's Look Up Child.
Michel Martin interviewed Baldridge about Preacher's Kid for NPR in March 2021, discussing her faith and music and playing single 'Jesus from Texas'.
The album earned support from some figures in the Christian music industry including Kevin Max, Trey Pearson, Derek Webb, Josh Lovelace and Lecrae. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Semler_Baldridge
