Blake Shelton

Unmittelbar nach seinem Highschool-Abschluss zog der bei Warner Bros. unter Vertrag stehende Blake Shelton von Oklahoma nach Nashville. Zuvor hatte er im zarten Alter von 16 Jahren bereits Zuhause die Aufmerksamkeit von ganz Oklahoma auf sich gezogen, als er den "Denbo Diamond Award", die höchste Auszeichnung für Nachwuchskünstler in Oklahoma, gewann.

In Nashville erreichte Shelton, dass einige der von ihm geschriebenen Songs bei Naomi Martin Music, Warner/Chappell Music und Jerry Crutchfield Music veröffentlicht wurden. Mit seiner 2001 veröffentlichten Debüt-Single "Austin" bewies Shelton, dass er nicht nur als Songschreiber, sondern auch als Sänger erfolgreich sein konnte. Dieser Song hilet sich 5 Wochen lang auf Platz 1 der Charts. "All Over Me" und "Ol' Red" waren 2002 ähnlich erfolgreich und verhalfen Sheltons Album zu einer goldenen Schallplatte. A Star was born! Shelton ruhte sich jedoch nicht auf seinen Lorbeeren aus, sondern war fleißig wie eh und je. Nur kurze Zeit später, bereits im Februar 2003, kam sein zweites Album "The Dreamer" in die Plattenläden. Die Single "The Baby" schaffte es auch prompt in die Top 10. 2004 veröffentlichte er sodann sein drittes Album "Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill" zusammen mit der DVD "Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill: A Video Collection".

Shelton war der erste Künstler, der auf eine sogenannte Six-Pack-karriere setzte, d.h. sein Label Warner Bros. Nashville veröffentlichte ab 2010 keinen Alben, mit zum Beispiel zwölf Songs, mehr, sondern nur noch EPs, die in den USA Six-Pack heißen. Auf diesen CDs sind immer nur sechs Lieder drauf. Allerdings merkte das Label schnell, dass diese die Fans noch nicht bereit für dieses Experiment waren und veröffentlichte nach dem 2011er Best of Album erst einmal wieder ein echtes Studioalbum.

Am 14. Mai 2011 trat Blake Shelton zum zweiten Mal vor den Altar und heirate seine Freundin Miranda Lambert. Die Trauung fand auf der Don Strange Ranch, in der Nähe von Boerne, Texas, statt.
