Hunter Hayes

BIOGRAPHy

Hunter Hayes
Hunter Hayes is a five-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who continually redefines the boundaries of modern music. Born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, Hayes was recognized as a musical prodigy from a young age, famously performing at the White House at just seven years old. He burst onto the mainstream country scene with his 2011 self-titled debut album. The record yielded the massive hit single “Wanted,” making him the youngest male artist to top the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.  A master of his craft, Hayes is celebrated for writing his own material and playing nearly every instrument on his studio tracks. Over the years, his sound has evolved far beyond his initial country roots. His latest musical chapter culminates in the March 2026 release of his highly anticipated studio album, Evergreen (Season 1). Co-produced with Alex Flagstad, the genre-blending project completes a trilogy that began with Wild Blueand Red Sky. Evergreen seamlessly weaves together elements of pop, country, indie rock, folk, and R&B, exploring deeply personal themes of growth, mental health, renewal, and compassion. Don’t miss the chance to have this star at your event!
