Charles Elliott Wicks (born June 20, 1979) is an American country music artist and radio personality.

[8] In August 2008, Wicks began dating fellow country singer Julianne Hough, who is a professional dancer and two-time champion on Dancing with the Stars.

While he was working on his debut album, Wicks was also picked as a cast member of the Fox network reality TV series Nashville.

RCA then released Wicks's debut single, "Stealing Cinderella", which he co-wrote with George Teren and Rivers Rutherford.

Fulmer said the song "hit [him] like a ton of bricks," so he contacted Wicks, arranging a private performance at his daughter Courtney's wedding.

[16] The single produced the biggest debut for any new country artist in all of 2007, with fifty-two of the stations on Billboard's survey adding it in its first official week of airplay.

[21] In the midst of preparing to release a new record, Wicks wrote a song titled, "I Don't Do Lonely Well", which got his future brother-in-law Jason Aldean's attention and landed him a spot on his then upcoming album Night Train in 2012.

Being a fan himself, Wicks was very excited and said that it was a big deal to him that Aldean cut one of his songs to include on his highly anticipated 5th record, which was released on October 6, the same year.

[23] He co-wrote its first single, "Salt Life", with Vicky McGehee and Mike Mobley, and co-produced the extended play with Ilya Toshinsky.
