The fun-filled vibe of Walker’s videos has taken on a viral status, and it all started due to his volunteer work for McDonald’s charity organization, Ronald McDonald House.

“I used to sing once a week for an hour raising money for Ronald McDonald House charities exclusively, and occasionally made people laugh,” Walker said in a statement to Newsweek. “But you can see where the night shift needed my specialty, so our business manager moved me to overnights.”

“The night shift is full of late travelers and their friend Jack Daniels,” he added. “I sing at least once a night every night, with a mix of Bob Marley, Bruno Mars, and some English favorites like Robbie Williams and Oasis.”

“Depending on how well staffed we are I can sing with customers all night – and like the Backstreet Boys song says, ‘I Want It That Way.'”
