According to Famous Birthdays, Warren Donald Zeiders, born on May 6, 1999, rose to fame after his cover of "Tennessee Whiskey" went viral on TikTok. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Warren Zeiders, who had once hoped to become a lacrosse player, spoke about how an accident in college pushed him to pursue his passion for music. He said:

"The biggest thing about me is that I have this thing about me: If I care about something and if I invest myself fully into it, nothing will stop me. I am all in, and it is an eat-sleep-and-breathe thing. And that was what I had with lacrosse for 12 years of my life.I went from being told as a freshman that I was going to be getting a bunch of playing time. And that's why I went there, because I didn't want to sit on the bench and stuff. And I worked my tail off all those years to get that opportunity."

Zeiders, who previously attended Frostburg State University, further added:

"I went from being told as a freshman that I was going to be getting a bunch of playing time. And that's why I went there, because I didn't want to sit on the bench and stuff. And I worked my tail off all those years to get that opportunity. And it was such a hard pill to swallow, and I was like, this is not how this is going to go."

Warren Zeiders further shared how, over time, he realized he had a chance to pursue music, a move that happened quite by chance. He said:

"I'm a firm believer that God has a plan for everyone, and we all have our own gifts, and some of us find them, find them sooner than others. But I do believe this I was meant to do."

In his interview with Fox News, Warren Zeiders, who grew up in rural Pennsylvania with his parents and sister, spoke about how he was raised in a traditional Christian household, something that remains close to his heart. He said:

"That traditional family lifestyle of [saying] sir and ma'am and just how that culture is that still, that it's that ode to that just traditional living and the way they treat people and how they live their lives. It's so…intoxicating, I guess, is a good way to put it. And that's why you're seeing such a large love for it growing in today's modern generation and why country music's growing so much, because it is welcoming. It is. Everyone wants to be a part of it now."

Warren Zeiders's parents always encouraged his love for music. According to Billboard, his mother worked as a Chief Financial Officer at an organization, whereas his father sold insurance. Both of them now dedicate their time and efforts to their son's career, with his mother acting as his business manager.

In a 2023 interview with People Magazine, Warren Zeiders reflected on how the overnight success of his cover of "Tennessee Whiskey" led to his first road tour. He said:

"The first ever tour I did was just me and a guitar player and a 15-passenger van. We booked 15 dates, and they sold out in less than 24 hours. At the end of that first show, I knew what the good Lord had put on my heart. I knew that this was what I was meant to do.”

Warren's debut album, Pretty Little Poison, which was released in August 2023, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. In his interview with ABC Audio, he shared how Nashville has become his default "green room" on account of his pursuing a career in country music. He said:

“I call Tennessee my full-time green room. I come back from the road, you drop your stuff off, you do your laundry, you pack your bag again, and then you’re out on the road. It’s a good landing spot for a day or two.

Warren Zeiders, who released his latest album "Relapse, Lies and Betrayal" in March this year, discussed in an interview on the radio show "Taste of Country Nights" about how he had recently broken up with his girlfriend, who had allegedly cheated on him. He said:

"God's got a sense of humor. I just dropped this album called Relapse, Lies and Betrayal, and what I went through the last week or two, I literally just went through all three of those. To make it lightly is, I definitely went through those three sequences. If you want to take those three words at face value, that's kind of what I went through. The unfortunate thing is, this is something that was going on for a while, off and on, between the two of us. I don't want to give it too much light, 'cause I don't want to give her too much of a win."

Warren Zeiders, who has already released four studio albums in his short career, was previously named as the sexiest 25-year-old in the January 2025 issue of People Magazine.
