'''Charles Edgar Walker Hayes''' (1979-) is a CountryMusic singer from Mobile, Alabama.
He first hit Nashville, Tennessee in 2005 in search of a music career. Creator/MercuryRecords picked him up, but dropped him before he could release anything. He then moved to Creator/CapitolRecords for two singles, "Pants" and "Why Wait for Summer", intended for an album titled '"Reason to Rhyme''.
After losing his deal with Capitol, he got a job at Costco and had minor success on the songwriting front, with Colt Ford ("Dirty Side") and Rodney Atkins ("Eat Sleep Love You Repeat") recording his singles.
A deal with songwriter/producer Shane [=McAnally's=] Smack publishing company led to two extended plays, and then a contract with the then-newly re-established Creator/MonumentRecords Nashville. From this came the album ''boom.'' and his first top-10 hit, "You Broke Up with Me". However, follow-up singles struggled, with several never even making it onto an album.
Then in 2021, he experienced a viral hit with the unexpected smash "Fancy Like", a song which gained traction on [=TikTok=] and soared to the top of the country music charts.

!Tropes present in his work:
* AllLowercaseLetters: His album ''boom.''
* DoubleEntendre: "Fancy Like" features the line "She wanna dip me like them fries in her Frosty".
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: "Pants" and "Why Wait for Summer" have a more country-rock sound than his later efforts.
* HeavyMeta: "90's Country" is all about listening to, well, country songs from the 1990s.
* HumbleGoal: "Fancy Like" is about how he just wants to have a good time and eat Applebee's with his wife.
* ProductPlacement: "Fancy Like" is pretty much a commercial for Applebee's. You know, before it ''literally'' became a commercial for Applebee's.
* {{Pun}}: "Trash My Heart" has the line "So Holiday Inn to you".
* SongOfSongTitles: "90's Country" name-drops several song titles from the 1990s.
