David Britt was born October 1st 1975 and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998 where he played tennis for the Tarheels. David started playing violin at age 3 and started singing in the church choir a few years later. He always loved music and had dreams of wanting to write and sing his whole life, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that he actually started, and realized his calling was to be a singer/songwriter. He was working as a commercial real estate broker, but still couldn’t get music out of his mind. As most artists will tell you, in order to start writing there is always a catalyst, especially in country music. One usually goes through some kind of life changing event before writing their first note. Love found, love lost, heart break etc. You could say David had some of that for sure, and in turn, it got him into writing music-- currently 600+ songs to date. In 2012 David released his first album self-titled "David Britt." After that release and several more singles, David signed a record deal with Spectra Music Group in May of 2014. They are releasing David's second album "Country Flow" February 10th. "To Hell With Your Love" which was the first single released off the album has done extremely well and is a classic hard core country break up song. This along with the other 11 songs on the album are a unique blend of classic and modern pop country.  For more information visit www.davidbrittmusic.com
