With a guitar in one hand and history book in the other, rising country artist and LSU Tiger Timothy Wayne is forging a path in country music. Wayne, a native of Franklin, TN, is balancing the demands of academia and a burgeoning music career.

Having signed his first major record deal with Universal Music Group Nashville’s Capitol Records Nashville, Wayne has already released two tracks, “Guy With A Guitar” and “God Made A Country Boy,” which Music Row lauded as “well sung,” and was accompanied by Wayne’s first official music video 

As a college student with a love of history, Wayne has a deep appreciation for the stories that shape our world. The singer-songwriter is influenced by a spectrum of country legends, from the traditional sounds of Waylon Jennings, George Strait, and Randy Travis to the contemporary flair of Dierks Bentley and his greatest inspiration, Tim McGraw. Currently in his third year at LSU, Wayne is committed to his faith, family, community and hard work, juggling the two paths of pursuing both a college degree and his dream career. Wayne went on tour this past summer as an opener for Tim McGraw on the Standing Room Only Tour, and he is continuing to play shows in the Southeast while working in the studio on his forthcoming debut project and hitting the books.
