(My Own Damn) Record Label and tours Europe extensively where he also dominates the airplay charts there with his smooth honky tonk style of traditional country music.

In addition to being a hit songwriter and singer, the Doniphan, Missouri native also serves as GM/Partner at Smokin' Grapes Music Publishing in Nashville which he co-founded with Scott Hacker two years ago.

  DAVID KROLL

When you hear David Kroll sing, the first thought that enters your mind is how unique his voice is. The Iowa native has an effortless delivery and a mature tone that is instantly endearing. You won’t hear any forced emotion or self-consciousness from the twenty-two year-old singer/songwriter, just a deep seeded passion that comes from a lifelong love of music.

Piano and classical guitar lessons as a child set Kroll on a musical pilgrimage that continues to this day. By the time he was thirteen, the budding performer had developed a love for country music. Traditionalists like Alan Jackson and George Strait caught the young singer’s ear and helped ignite a burning desire to perform. "I can remember attending an Alan Jackson concert and wanting to be up there so bad," Kroll says.

Kroll has taken giant steps toward becoming a nationally recognized performer. He’s had the opportunity to play on the same bill with the likes of Montgomery Gentry, Trick Pony, Tammy Cochran, Chris Young, and Joe Diffie, and has performed in front of thousands of fans on his own. A chance meeting with Grammy nominated songwriter and country performer Billy Yates lead to a publishing deal with Yates’ Smokin’ Grapes Music Publishing.

With wholesome good looks and a voice and sound contemporary and distinct enough to capture the attention of a fickle public, David Kroll is on the fast track to stardom. For this young singer/songwriter who missed his share of highschool dances and parties because he was out gigging with his band, music isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life.
