ABOUT WALKER HAYES

Monument Records recording artist, Walker Hayes, is a singer/songwriter originally from Mobile, Alabama. His album Country Stuff The Album came out 1/21, and features new single “AA” and smash hit “Fancy Like.”

“Fancy Like” has topped every sales and streaming chart since its release, spending a collective 6 months and counting at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country Songs Chart and hitting the top 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songs. The irresistible tune was certified RIAA 3X Platinum within a year of release,and the trackgave Hayes his first GRAMMY Award nomination as an artistfor Best Country Song.

Propelled by the TikTok dance Hayes made to the song with his teenage daughter, “Fancy Like” has been used over half a milliontimes on the app, with that original, homemade video, racking up over 32 million views, and appearing in a national Applebee’s ad campaign. Written in response to fans thinking Hayes’ life was more lavish than their own, “Fancy Like” connected audiences across genres, and spawned collaborations with Kesha and Carin Leon.

Hayes’ newest release, “AA,” is everything fans have come to love about his music – unapologetically honest lyrics,instantly catchy hooks,and stories inspiredby his own life. Hayes shares, “at the end of the day, we are all just doing the best we can, and what I really mean to say with this song is just that I’m trying to stay the course. I’ve struggled with alcohol abuseand sometimes I wish I didn’t need AA, but I do. I think a lot of people can relate to that. I’m just trying to be the best dad and husband I can be. It’s not easy all the time, but my wife smiles a lot and my kids are growing up with more than I had, and that’s a really good thing.”

Written by Hayes, with Multi-Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally and Luke Laird, and produced by “Fancy Like”collaborator Joe Thibodeauand McAnally, “AA” is one of 13 songs on Country Stuff The Album, which also includes the fast rising pop/country bop “U Gurl.”

Hayes’ songwriter has led Billboard to praise his “personal, soul-bearing storylines; rolling rhymes; and Macklemore-like cadence,” and the Washington Post to write that “Hayeshas broken into the mainstream by sounding different.”

The proud father of six has performed his music, including the Double-Platinum RIAA certified hit “You Broke Up With Me” from his debut album boom. to national audiences on Good Morning America, CBS Sunday Morning, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,and The TODAY Show. He kicked off his headlining The Fancy Like Tour in January 2022.
