Ken Mellons (born Kenneth Edward Mellons, July 10, 1965 in Kingsport, Tennessee) is an American country music artist who released his self-titled debut album in 1994. This album produced the hit "Jukebox Junkie", a Top Ten hit on the Hot Country Songs charts. Mellons followed up his debut album with three more albums — 1995's "Where Forever Begins", 2001's "The Best of Ken Mellons" and 2004's "Sweet" — in addition to charting six more singles on the country charts.

Biography

Mellons was a native of Nashville, Tennessee since the age of three. He entered in many talent shows in high school, and played at various clubs around Nashville to help perfect his skill, while working day jobs to pay the bills.

Later, he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and was signed to Epic Records in 1993. His debut, self-titled album produced a Top 10 single in "Jukebox Junkie", a song which also received ASCAP and BMI awards for surpassing one million spins on radio. His second album, "Where Forever Begins", failed to produce any successful singles, and by 1997, Mellons left Epic Records.

Shortly after leaving Epic, Mellons signed to Curb Records. Although he spent six years on that label, he released only two non-charting singles and one album ("The Best of Ken Mellons") during his tenure on Curb. He later became frustrated with the label and asked out of his record deal with them in 2003. Mellons then moved to the independent Home Records, releasing the album "Sweet" in 2004. The album featured "Paint Me a Birmingham", which would later become a Top 5 country hit when Tracy Lawrence recorded it in early 2004. Mellons also co-wrote the song "The Shoes" on Dierks Bentley's self-titled debut album.
