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. But throughout a career that has taken Dallas around the world as a songwriter, singer, actor and radio deejay, he claims he's never had a real job.

A native of Springfield, Missouri, Dallas began performing professionally in 1975, and by the age of 18 he had toured throughout the entire U.S. and Canada. After moving to Nashville, he further developed his vocal style singing demos for many of the top publishing houses in the music industry.

While touring Europe in 1991, Dallas forged a deal with Texicalli Records in Finland and was signed to record an album. One album soon became six, and Dallas decided to move to Scandinavia in 1996, where he was contracted as a staff writer for Warner/Chappell Music.

After four years living and touring in Europe, Dallas returned to the U.S. and settled in northern California. Within one month of his return, he signed a record deal with HighTone Records. In addition to recording two albums of his own on the HighTone label, Dallas was a part of the honky-tonk supergroup, the TwangBangers.

Dallas moved to Austin, Texas in early 2003 where he has enjoyed a vibrant country music scene. In 2005 Dallas released the CD I'm Your Biggest Fan, marking his debut on the Koch Records Nashville label.

Dallas embarked on a new facet of his career in mid-2005 when he joined the family of on-air personalities in Outlaw Country, channel 63 on SIRIUS Satellite Radio. And in Spring of 2006 he added a second radio show to his already busy schedule when he signed on as DJ and program/ music director at KHYI 95.3 FM in Dallas, Texas. In recognition of Dallasâ work at KHYI, the Academy of Western Artists presented him with a Will Rogers Award for Classic Country Major Market DJ of the Year for 2006.

Early in 2007, Dallas expanded his time on the air at SIRIUS Satellite Radio, adding a weekly âDeep in the Heart of Texasâ Saturday night program in Outlaw Country, SIRIUS channel 63, as well as working weekends on The Roadhouse, SIRIUS channel 62. By mid-2007, Dallas regrettably gave up his work as DJ and program/ music director at KHYI to focus on his music career and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.

In addition to his radio career, songwriting and performing around Austin, Dallas continues to tour the U.S. and Europe. He has recently finished recording a new album for release later this year.
