Blake Shelton: Oklahoma Star

Blake Shelton is one of the biggest country stars the world has ever seen. Taking inspiration from some of the genre's greatest artists like Willy Nelson and Tim McGraw, Blake knew that his destiny was in music and would stop at nothing to achieve his dreams. In 2001, Blake was terrified he was going to be a one-hit-wonder. His debut single "Austin" topped country radio charts for five consecutive weeks. He was 25 years old, seven years into his Nashville run and convinced that such staggering early success would be the height of his career. However, Austin turned out to be a career establishing hit, and he has managed to maintain his status as one of the most popular country artists of all time, releasing over 10 albums by 2021. He has managed to spread his success past his country audiences with his spot-on hit TV show The Voice, being the longest-running judge on the panel. With a career that keeps reaching new heights, over 90 awards and countless number one hits, Blake Shelton is bound to leave a lasting legacy on country music forever.
