Luke Albert Combs (/koʊmz/; born March 2, 1990) is an American country music singer and songwriter. Born and raised in North Carolina, he began performing as a child. After dropping out of college to pursue a career in music, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he released his debut EP, The Way She Rides, in 2014.

Luke Combs recently took to social media to share a moving tribute to his paternal and maternal grandfathers. In a lengthy note shared to Instagram, the country artist said that both were the inspiration behind his unreleased new song "See Me Now," from his upcoming fourth studio album, "Gettin' Old."

Luke Combs is known for The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), Luke Combs: When It Rains It Pours (2017) and Luke Combs: Lovin' on You (2020). He has been married to Nicole Hocking since August 1, 2020.

Combs' chart accomplishments have been making waves for years. All 17 of the singles he's released in his career have hit No. 1 at country radio (16 on the Country Airplay chart, and all 17 on the Mediabase country chart.) Perhaps his latest history-making accomplishment was when "Fast Car" ascended to No.

However, his debut radio single came in October of 2016 with his now 8x Platinum certified smash hit, 'Hurricane'. The track initially charted in 2015 when Combs released it on his own, which gained the attention of Sony Music Nashville imprint label Columbia Nashville, who quickly gave him a shiny new record deal.

It's especially impressive since Combs occupies a traditional spot in country music - singing solidly constructed, old-school songs about love and booze with hints of Southern Rock and soul, and not a trace of the pop or hip-hop influence that defines most of the genre's young artists working today.

The North Carolina native is one of the biggest names in contemporary country music, a two-time Grammy Award winner who sells out arenas within hours. But a few years ago, Combs was just another doe-eyed hopeful looking to make his mark when The Voice came knocking.

If only they'd known! Maren Morris, Luke Combs and Tori Kelly are among the stars who've been turned down by singing competition shows before their big breaks.

The Beatles The Beatles lead all acts, with a whopping 20 No. 1s - they've had the most since 1965, when they surpassed Elvis Presley. Presley, who's notably absent from the list below, scored seven No. 1s in the Hot 100 era.

Combs has received six Grammy nominations over the years (though he has yet to win).
