Biography
John Wayne Wiggins entered the world on October 13, 1962, in Nashville, Tennessee, while his sister Audrey Lynn Wiggins was born on December 26, 1967, in Asheville, North Carolina. Both siblings started singing at a young age; their father, Johnny Wiggins, gained recognition as the "Singing Bus Driver" during Ernest Tubb's tours in the 1960s. John performed publicly for the first time at age four with their father’s band and continued for several years. During the 1980s, they became part of the house band at The Stompin' Ground in North Carolina alongside Clinton Gregory.
In 1994, shortly before their father’s death, they secured a contract with Universal Music Group Nashville/Mercury Records. Their debut album, produced by Jim Cotton and Joe Scaife, produced three singles that charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs, including the No. 22 hit "Has Anybody Seen Amy". Between 1995 and 1997, they received nominations from the Country Music Association for Duo of the Year. Their sophomore release, The Dream (1997), produced by Dann Huff, included the single "Somewhere in Love," which reached No. 49 on the charts.
During the 2000s, John shifted his focus to songwriting within Nashville’s music scene. His notable compositions include Joe Nichols' "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," Randy Houser's "Anything Goes," and "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking," recorded by both Nichols and Blake Shelton.
