Blake Shelton is an American nontraditional country musician and singer-songwriter. He was born on  June 18, 1976 in Ada, Oklahoma.

Shelton moved to Nashville, Tennessee from his hometown of Ada, Oklahoma at the age of 17. After several years in Nashville, he signed to Giant Records in 1998. Shortly after the release of his debut single, "Austin", in 2001, Giant Records folded, and Warner Bros. Records picked up the single, which eventually reached no 1. He has followed up with two more number one songs and several other top 20 songs, all on Warner Bros.

Shelton released a DVD of music videos on October 19, 2004 titled “Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill: Video Collection”, and preceded his CD release, “Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill”. In 2005 he toured extensively in support of the album, including a coveted opening spot on Rascal Flatts's sold-out “Here's to You” tour, which also featured Shelly Fairchild.

Blake released his album, “Pure BS”, on May 1, 2007. The disc contains 11 songs and was produced by Bobby Braddock, Brent Rowan and Paul Worley.

On December 18, 2005, several of Shelton's songs, including "Nobody But Me", appeared on the TV movie “The Christmas Blessing”, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Rebecca Gayheart, Angus T. Jones, and Rob Lowe. Blake had a small role at the end of the movie, playing himself at a benefit concert, singing “Nobody But Me”.
