Ty Herndon

Boyd Tyrone «Ty» Herndon (born May 2, 1962) is an American country music singer. Signed to Epic Records in 1995, Herndon made his debut that year with the Number One single «What Mattered Most», followed by the release of his first album, also entitled What Mattered Most. This album was followed one year later by Living in a Moment, which produced his second Number One country hit in its title track.

Herndon released three more albums for Epic — Big Hopes (1998), Steam (1999), and This Is Ty Herndon: Greatest Hits (2000). He recorded a Christmas album in 2002 for the Riviera label, followed by his fifth studio album (2007’s Right About Now) and a second Christmas compilation for the Titan Pyramid label. Herndon’s autobiographical 2010 album release «Journey On» under the FUNL Music record label earned him his first Grammy Nomination and Dove Award. His next Country studio album is due early 2012, with the first single «Stones» releasing in November 2011. The single debuted on PlayMPE as the most downloaded and streamed single on Nov. 3, 2011.

Herndon has charted a total of 17 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. This figure includes three Number ones — «What Mattered Most,» «Living in a Moment» and «It Must Be Love» — and four additional Top Ten hits: «I Want My Goodbye Back,» «Loved Too Much,» «A Man Holding On (To a Woman Letting Go)» and «Hands of a Working Man.»
