1	A CountryMusic singer from Louisiana, best known for playing ''everything''.
2
3	Hayes began making TV appearances as young as age four, also winning competitions for his accordion playing. After moving to Nashville, he co-wrote a song for Music/RascalFlatts and signed with Creator/AtlanticRecords. His debut single "Storm Warning" debuted in 2011, making #14 on the country charts, but it was "Wanted" that locked him in as a hitmaker. The song spent several weeks at #1 on the country charts, also receiving mass pop airplay and singles sales close to 3 million. Both songs appear on his self-titled debut, on which he played literally ''every'' instrument (more than 20). "Somebody's Heartbreak" became his second #1 hit, followed by "I Want Crazy", which was added to a 2013 rerelease of the Atlantic album. The re-release also produced his fifth single, "Everybody's Got Somebody but Me", a duet with Music/JasonMraz.

5	Hayes's second Atlantic album was launched in 2014 with "Invisible" and "Tattoo" as the singles, but it performed poorly. His next release, "21", hit the airwaves in summer 2015.

7	!Tropes present:
8	* TheBully: "Invisible" is a message of inspiration to victims of these.
9	* ChildPopstar: Although his mainstream career didn't begin until he was 20, he had a few notable gigs dating back to age four.
10	* EarlyBirdCameo: As mentioned above, he wrote a Rascal Flatts song before his major-label debut.
11	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early on, he was mainly a Cajun musician. His debut single "Storm Warning" has a country-rock edge, but everything since has been lightweight teen-friendly country-pop.
12	* GenreShift: From Cajun music to country-pop.
13	* {{Irony}}: "21" debuted at #21 on the Country Airplay charts due to heavy first-week airplay on [=iHeartMedia=]-owned stations. The song floundered on the charts after that, eventually rebounding to a peak position... of #21.
14	* MinisculeRocking: "Everybody's Got Somebody but Me" is only 2:39.
15	* RearrangeTheSong: "Everybody's Got Somebody but Me" was originally a solo song, but he re-recorded it as a duet with Music/JasonMraz.
16	* SelfBackingVocalist: As mentioned, he played all of his own instruments and sang all the backing vocals on his first album.
