Life
After graduating from high school in 1986 at the Institut Lucius boarding school in Echzell , Hesse , Bayless went to California to complete guitar training at the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in Los Angeles.

In order to achieve his dream of becoming a full-time musician, Bayless kept afloat doing odd jobs such as gardening and typing for the American armed forces in accounting. In Heidelberg , where Bayless still lives today, he made the acquaintance of Ralf Gustke , Robbee Mariano and Xavier Naidoo . After working together in a cover band and various musical projects, Bayless got the offer in 1999 to join the Mannheim family as a guitarist. At the same time, Bayless founded his own band, Ensemble Uferlos , whose style he describes as "danceable pirate music". Bayless also performs regularly with Dirk Zöllner's band .
In 2017 he appeared alongside Shahbaz Noshir in the feature film Puya: In the Circle of Time as a musician.

Bayless is involved in various social projects, such as Race-4-Kids and Hockey is Diversity , an alliance of former and current professional ice hockey players who are committed to more integration and diversity in society.
