Charles Edgar Walker Hayes (born December 27, 1979) was born in Mobile, Alabama,, United States. He is an accomplished American country pop singer and songwriter. He is professionally known as Walker Hayes. With a discography spanning three studio albums, his musical journey has left an indelible mark on the genre.

Hayes' initial foray into the industry began in 2011 with his debut album "Reason to Rhyme," released under Capitol Records Nashville. Following that, he continued to captivate audiences with subsequent albums, namely "Boom" in 2017 and "Country Stuff the Album" in 2022, both launched under the Monument Records label.

Hayes' resonance on the music charts is undeniable, as his singles have earned coveted spots on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. Among his notable achievements, the song "Fancy Like" soared to the pinnacle of these charts between late 2021 and early 2022, solidifying its place as a beloved anthem for fans.

The artist's journey to prominence was not without its challenges. Hayes and his wife embarked on their musical dream by relocating to Nashville in 2005. He found his initial footing by crafting songs for a prominent Nashville publishing company before securing a contract with Mercury Records Nashville. Although the Mercury Records deal was fleeting, Hayes' resilience led him to Capitol Records Nashville.

Notably, Hayes showcased his songwriting prowess through various collaborations. He lent his voice and co-writing skills to Colt Ford's "Dirty Side" and penned Rodney Atkins' 2014 hit "Eat Sleep Love You Repeat."

In a testament to his determination, Hayes underwent periods of transition, including a stint working at a Costco to support himself after parting ways with Capitol Records. However, his perseverance bore fruit when he inked a publishing and production deal with Shane McAnally and SMACK/RareSpark, releasing EPs like "8Tracks Vol. 1" and "8Tracks Vol. 2." These paved the way for his triumphant single "You Broke Up with Me," a breakthrough moment in his career.

Hayes' evolution continued with the release of the nostalgic hit "90's Country" in 2018, which reverently references country classics from the 1990s. The following years witnessed the viral sensation "Fancy Like," propelled to prominence by TikTok, reaching exceptional heights on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs chart. This success culminated in his third studio album, "Country Stuff the Album," released in 2022. Noteworthy tracks like "U Gurl" and "AA" further showcased Hayes' versatility and creative ingenuity, ensuring his enduring presence in the country music realm.
