We love Hunter Hayes, and you should, too. Let us tell you why, mmkay? Aside from the fact that he’s the most adorable thing on Earth, he’s pretty much the male version of Taylor Swift since he too has been performing since he was a toddler, he writes his own music using real-life experiences, and he’s on his way to achieving country music super-stardom. He’s already shared a stage with Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban and Ms. Swift, AND he’s nominated for two Teen Choice Awards this year — Choice Male Country Artist and Choice Country song for his first single, “Storm Warning”!
Find out who Hunter’s going on tour with this summer, which Nickelodeon star he recently sang with, and how he got his start in country music below!
1. Hunter Hayes grew up in a small town called Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. He used to perform for live audiences in Cajun restaurants there, and that was where he figured out that he wanted to make music for the rest of his life.

2. At 4-years-old, Hunter took the stage with Hank Williams, Jr. (a famous country singer-songwriter), sang a song called “Jambalaya”, and totally broke it down on his accordion. Warning: What you’re about to see breaks all kinds of cuteness barriers.
3. Aside from the accordion (a gift from his grandmother at the age of two), Hunter plays the guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards and more. The kicker? He taught himself everything.

4. Hunter played every instrument on his new album Hunter Hayes, performed his own background vocals, and produced it. #overachiever

9. Hunter has partnered with Con Agra Foods for the Child Hunger Ends Here Program and wrote a song called “Here’s Hope” specially for the campaign. What a softie.
10. When he was younger, Hunter had small roles in The Apostle and My Dog Skip where his accordion skills came in handy!

I love his song wanted! I saw him when he opened for Carrie Underwood and I didn’t know who he was! But as soon as I heard him sing I fell in love with his voice and I keep listening to his music.
Morgan Freeman came really close Friday monnrig, I would consider complications arising with his injuries being possible still. What is that picture of with Mac, Hayes, and Jackson? Is it from a movie, that’s gonna make it kinda freaky if Samuel L. Jackson does go next!Two random deaths in row, it just wasn’t a very good weekend. First Morgan Freeman gave us a scare, then Bernie Mac dies when people expected he was doing better. Now Isaac Hayes and the cause was unknown! I hope next weekend is better
i love hunter, i have seen him once and met him. im going to one of his shows with carrie in december and im going to see him again in august! he is soo talented. i really hope his carrier keeps growing the way it is now
Oh my gosh. I met him at the CMA music fest this year. He is such a gentlemen! He’s short too hah, I’m taller than him and I’m 5’7″
