Morgan Wallen is an American country music singer and songwriter known for his distinctive voice and chart-topping hits. He initially gained public attention as a contestant on *The Voice* before moving to Nashville to pursue a music career more seriously. Wallen released his debut single "The Way I Talk" in 2015 and his first album *If I Know Me* in 2018, which helped establish him in the country music scene.

Wallen's subsequent albums have achieved significant commercial success. His 2021 album *Dangerous: The Double Album* was a major hit, and in 2022, he released *One Thing at a Time*, a 36-track album that debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. This album produced multiple top 10 hits simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Last Night," which reached number one.
