NOW
DK
Davis embarks on the next phase of his evolving career
to bring his unique sounds of combining
conventional elements with the influences of
country swing, rock n roll, rhythm
& blues, and rockabilly. He has worked with
such diverse songwriters as Gary Puckett, Jim
Peterik (of Eye of the Tiger fame),
mainstream Nashville tunesmiths Byron Hill and
Paul Dolman; and with Emmy-winning song writer Ed
Tossing on DKs hit single, As
One,
which grabbed the top 20 spot both nationally and
internationally.
His
hit song, Return
to Sender,
won him several awards including National
Dance Song of the Year
and Highest
Ranking New Artist of 2002.
It climbed to #9 on the national music charts.
Recording in Chicago,
Los Angeles and Nashville, and drawing on the considerable talents in
those cities, his new recordings bring a breath of fresh air to the constantly
changing music scene. Backed by a traditional rhythm section (with a full
string section on ballads), DKs use of brass adds a punch
to his sound.
DK
and his studio band, The Sharks, are now touring together. The Sharks
lend a high caliber of musicianship to every show that DK performs. Together, DK Davis and The
Sharks are a crowd pleaser
everywhere they perform.
Daviss
latest single, Dont Cha Know, has enjoyed
top 30 chart action in nineteen European countries and Australia. It is
also getting fantastic reviews in the States and is moving up the regional
and national charts. In the past 18 months, DK has had regional, national
and international recognition with his last three singles: Return to Sender, As One, and Dont Cha Know.
DKs
on-stage energy and charisma are the icing on the cake to this exciting
total package. His enthusiasm is contagious and it is impossible not to
get involved with his dynamic performance. With his new release, distinctive
sound, and proven track record, DK Davis is poised to join
the ranks of the superstars in recording, radio, television and on the
concert stage.
