David Nail:

David Nail’s candor cuts like a laser through star-making propriety, a ritual of predictable answers to predictable questions, recited by artists averse to the controversy that truth can bring.

True, he is respected up and down and beyond Music Row. He’s written or co-written multiple hits. Critics laud his singing too: The late, revered Chuck Dauphin, for one, marveled at Nail’s ability to turn an “ordinary lyric and arrangement” into a “tour de force,” adding, “simply put… he is not one of us.”

So he’s got rock-solid credentials. And he earned them despite a refusal to present himself in a false light. His songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. As Nail explains, it’s not so much an act of courage to write about depression and its effects. Rather, it is simply who he is; he says, in conversation and through music, what he must say.

In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.”

Leaving Austin:

With a profound sound, a love of music and fierce determination, Leaving Austin is forging his own path in country music. Built from Austin’s smooth/unique vocals and distinctive songwriting, this has made him a well sought-after Artist in Nashville. He’s garnered co-writes with some of country’s biggest such as, Chris Young (“Gettin You Home”) Josh Phillips (“Dirt Cheap”) Jeffery Steel (“What Hurts The Most”) Jimmy Robbins (“It Goes Like This”), Chris Dubois (“Buy Me A Boat”) and many more. He landed a publishing Deal at SeaGayle Music owned by Country music legend Brad Paisley along with hit songwriter Chris Dubois in 2018.

Hailing from Selma California, a small farm town in the Central Valley and the raisin Capital of the world, Austin was raised on the importance of God, family and the belief that nothing was going to be handed to him. After years of writing and touring his hard work and endurance has paid off.

Leaving Austin’s music has over 25 million streams on Spotify, to date and has been playing shows up and down the west coast, giving the opportunity to open for artists such as Chris Young, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan and many more. 

“I’m so grateful for all I’ve been able to do and accomplish, God has definitely been leading me through it all and has a purpose for my music” said Austin.  He’s gotten to perform on the Today Show with Hoda and Jenna, debuting his song “American Avenue” a duet ft. Grammy nominated artist Cassadee Pope.
