The music of David St. Romain defies easy categorization, and in many ways, so does the man himself. Hailing from the central Louisiana town of Alexandria, David has steadily built his reputation as an entertainer, playing high-energy, musically diverse shows driven by what may be his biggest asset -- that powerful, soul-drenched voice. America got a taste of David's promising talents when he made the finals of Nashville Star in 2007. Now David is delivering on that promise, releasing brand-new music showcasing what his followers across the country have been raving about for years. David's musical education began early in life. As a kid, he was taking in the pop-influenced country sounds of Kenny Rogers from his dad's record collection before rocking out at Metallica and Guns 'N Roses concerts with his junior high buddies. The new wave of '90s country brought along by Garth Brooks had a big impact on David, courtesy of his older brother's copy of Garth's seminal No Fences album. David's growing obsession with music soon gave way to actually performing for audiences. From that point on, David was hooked. "I never really wanted to do anything else besides singing and entertaining as a career path. When I did my first talent show in 6th grade singing Europe’s ‘Carrie,' that's when I learned that you can get girls while singing onstage," David says with a laugh. "But seriously, I just knew from a very young age that I wanted to perform, and I think that's a huge blessing. It allowed me to block everything else out and just focus on my music." Further musical explorations led David to expand his R&B vocal skills singing in a group styled after the harmonies of Boyz II Men. Attending a Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart concert at age 19 further cemented David's desire to pursue country music specifically. Travis and Marty incorporated blues, southern rock and straight-ahead country into their sound. Even now, it's not uncommon to find Sugarland sharing a stage with Beyonce, Kenny Chesney scoring a hit single with Dave Matthews, or Taylor Swift performing on TV with Def Leppard. In that same spirit, David set off to incorporate his diverse influences into his own style of country music. By his early 20s, David had started playing shows in nearby Hammond, Louisiana, where he met up with a local producer. That chance meeting led to a few recording sessions and the beginning of David's trips to Nashville to take a swing at the big time. Along the way, David made further connections in Music City, and ended up in the studio working on his music with some of Music Row's top musicians. Their advice went a long way in helping David develop his distinct vocal style. At the same time, frequent gigs at clubs across the country gave David an invaluable opportunity to win over sometimes-disinterested crowds and have them in the palm of his hand by the end of the set. "There's an experience and wisdom that you pick up in that environment," David says, "You learn to be a professional at all times, whether you're playing for two people or a crowd of hundreds." By October 2005, David's tour schedule was in high gear, and his personal life was also on solid footing he celebrated his first daughter Bailey, born the following October, just as David got the opportunity of a lifetime -- a slot on the new season of TV's premiere country competition Nashville Star. Besides the invaluable national exposure that show brought him, David also got to go on the 40 city Nashville Star tour and interact with a number of the nearly half million fans who voted for him. While competing on Nashville Star, David struck up a working relationship with one of the show's producers Shawn Pennington. A Music Row veteran who's managed multi-platinum acts such as Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Randy Owen (Alabama), & Cowboy Troy. Shawn was very impressed with what he saw from David, especially on the Nashville Star tour. "At that time, I was working with Big & Rich, and their live show is what really set them…
