David Nail, born David Brent Nail on May 18, 1979, in Kennett, Missouri, developed an early passion for music. His father, a high school band director, and his mother, a church choir singer, exposed him to diverse musical genres. Nail’s musical journey began seriously after a baseball scholarship to Aquinas College was cut short by a shoulder injury, leading him to focus on songwriting and a career in music in Nashville.
Nail’s career started with a recording contract with Mercury Records Nashville, debuting the single “Memphis” in 2002. Although the associated album was not commercially released, this initial experience set the stage for his later success. In 2007, he signed with MCA Nashville, marking a significant turning point in his career. His debut album for MCA, “I’m About to Come Alive,” was released in 2009, featuring co-writes with notable artists like Kenny Chesney.
Throughout his career, Nail has released four studio albums: “I’m About to Come Alive” (2009), “The Sound of a Million Dreams” (2011), “I’m a Fire” (2014), and “Fighter” (2016). He has achieved two No. 1 hits on the country charts with “Let It Rain” (2011), featuring Sarah Buxton, and “Whatever She’s Got” (2013). Additionally, his hit “Red Light” reached number 7. In more recent years, Nail has independently released several extended plays, including “Only This And Nothing More” (2018) with his band The Well Ravens, and has continued to tour, demonstrating consistent engagement with his audience and evolving his artistic approach.
