Dallas Wayne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dallas Wayne is an Austin, Texas-based singer and songwriter, as well as on-air radio personality for SIRIUS Satellite Radio. A native of Springfield, Missouri, Dallas began performing professionally in 1975, and by the age of 18 he had toured throughout the entire U.S. and Canada. After moving to Nashville, he further developed his vocal style singing demos for many of the top publishing houses in the music industry.
While touring Europe in 1991, Dallas forged a deal with Texicalli Records in Finland and was signed to record an album. One album soon became six, and Dallas decided to move to Scandinavia in 1996, where he became a staff writer for Warner/Chappell Music.
After four years living and touring in Europe, Dallas returned to the U.S. and settled in northern California where he signed a record deal with HighTone Records. In addition to recording two albums of his own on the HighTone label, Dallas was a part of the honky-tonk supergroup, the TwangBangers.
Dallas moved to Austin, Texas in early 2003 where he has enjoyed a vibrant country music scene. In 2005 Dallas released the CD I'm Your Biggest Fan on the Koch Records Nashville label.
In addition to his radio career, songwriting and performing around Austin, Dallas continues to tour the U.S. and Europe. In early 2008, he finished recording a new album for release later this year.[1]
