If there's Justin Bieber in country music scene, that would be no other than HUNTER HAYES. At the age of 20, he's already an accomplished singer-songwriter with a multi-platinum selling album under his belt. Hunter broke a record with his #01 song "Wanted" (for full 3 months and 1 week) by becoming the youngest solo male act to top the Billboard Hot Country Songs originally set in 1973 by country music legend Johnny Rodriguez. Hunter Hayes is the real deal!...We will hear more and more from him! Videos after the jump:

STORM WARNING the first track from his self titled debut album. This song is what got me hooked on listening to country music, Hunter is so talented and it's not auto-tuned, he is true raw talent!

Ito na ang ating huling sandali
Hindi na tayo magkakamali
Kase wala ng bukas
Sulitin natin ito na ang wakas
Kailangan na yata nating umuwi

Hawakan mo aking kamay
Bago tayo mag hiwalay
Lahat lahat ibibigay, lahat lahat

Paalam sating huling sayaw
May dulo pala ang langit
Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw
Sa ating huling sayaw

Di namalayan na malalim na ang gabi
Pero ayoko sanang mag madali
Kay tamis, kay sarap
Ngunit ito na ang huli
Kailangan na yata nating uwumwi

Hawakan mo aking kamay
Bago tayo mag hiwalay
Lahat lahat ibibigay, lahat lahat

Paalam sating huling sayaw
May dulo pala ang langit
Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw
Sa ating huling sayaw

(Adlib)

Paalam sating huling sayaw
May dulo pala ang langit
Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw
Sa ating huling sayaw,

Paalam sating huling sayaw
May dulo pala ang langit
Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw
Sa ating huling sayaw.
