Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan is an American country music singer and songwriter. Bryan first broke into the country music scene by writing songs for other artists in Nashville, including Billy Currington's 2007 hit "Good Directions." Later that year, Bryan released his debut single, "All My Friends Say," which peaked at No. 5 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Bryan's debut album, I'll Stay Me, was also released in 2007. Since then, he's released albums Doin' My Thing (2009), Tailgates & Tanlines (2011), Crash My Party (2013), Spring Break...Here to Party (2013), Spring Break...Checkin' Out (2015), Kill the Lights (2015), Farm Tour... Here's to the Farmer (2016), What Makes You Country (2017) and Born Here Live Here Die Here (2020). Bryan's music has nearly 16 billion streams worldwide, and he has sold almost 13 million albums. In 2019, Bryan's 2013 album Crash My Party received the first album of the decade award from the Academy of Country Music. Additional awards include six recognitions as a CMT Artist of the Year, seven CMT Music Awards, five Billboard Music Awards, and four American Music Awards. Bryan was also named Billboard's Top Country Artist of the 2010s. Bryan has also been a judge on American Idol since 2018, appearing on five seasons. Bryan has been married to Caroline Boyer since 2006, and the pair have two children together.
