The American country singer Blake Shelton was born in Ada, Oklahoma on June 18, 1976. Shelton made his debut in 2001 with the song Austin, the first single off his debut self-titled album. The single spent five weeks in the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. It was the lead single off his debut gold certified album.

In 2008, the set was re-issued and included a cover of Home, the pop hit by Michael Buble, as a bonus track. In November 2008, Shelton released Startin' Fires, his fifth album. Currently he is a vocal coach with The Voice, an NBC reality talent program, along with Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine.

Shelton has had seventeen singles chart on the country chart and had eight No. 1 hits: 2001's Austin, 2003's The Baby, 2004-2005's Some Beach, 2008's Home, 2009's She Wouldn't Be Gone and 2010's Hillbilly Bone and All About Tonight and 2011's Who Are You When I'm Not Looking.
