Dallas Wayne considers himself lucky to be able to make a living doing something he loves. Some people might say it has more to do with talent than luck. A native of Springfield, Missouri, Dallas is a singer, songwriter, radio DJ, voice-over artist, actor and music producer who has performed throughout North America and Europe.

Dallas began performing professionally while in school before moving to Nashville, where he developed his vocal style singing demos for the top music publishing houses. While touring Europe in the early 90s, Dallas signed a deal to record an album. One album soon became six, and he moved to Scandinavia where he was a staff songwriter for Warner/Chappell Music. After four years living and touring in Europe, Dallas returned to the U.S. and signed a deal with HighTone Records. In addition to recording two albums of his own on the HighTone label, Dallas was part of the honky-tonk supergroup, the TwangBangers.

Dallas released his most recent album, Songs The Jukebox Taught Me, on the Heart of Texas Records label in May 2016. He currently lives outside Austin, Texas, where he performs with the legendary band Heybale! in addition to his radio career, songwriting and touring.
