Chris Cagle - Bio

 

Born in De Ridder, LA and raised in Houston, TX, Chris Cagle is an American Country Music Artist. He moved to Nashville in 1994.


While in Nashville, the struggling Artist held down several jobs: nanny, waiter, prep chef and golf caddy, among many others. During that time, he signed a publishing deal with Caliber Music. He had his first song, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out”, cut by David Kersh within 8 months of signing his deal, but he wanted more. He wanted to be an Artist.


That dream came true in 2000 when he signed to Virgin Records. Cagle co-wrote and co-produced his debut Gold record, Play It Loud, which produced a top 10 single, “My Love Goes On & On”, a top 5 single “Laredo” and the #1 single, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out.”


His self-titled sophomore project debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and is certified Gold, as well as yielding two Top 5 singles: “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It."


Cagle penned additional albums that brought more success with hits like “Miss Me Baby,” What Kinda Gone,” “Got My Country On,” “Let There Be Cowgirls,” and “Country By The Grace Of God.”

Nominated for New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music and Voted CMT’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2002, it is the stage where Cagle has always shone the brightest. His passion for the performance of music is a rare find, and this Artist isn’t afraid of giving everything he has to his fans.

Dru Hill - Bio

 

Founded in 1992 as “14K Harmony,” the group, discovered by manager Kevin Peck, evolved to become Dru Hill in 1996, engraving itself into the legacy of R&B music and bringing a dynamic sound to the ever-changing industry. Known for hits like “Tell Me,” “In My Bed,” “Never Make a Promise,” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” the group has given the world music for the ages.

Over the last 25+ years, Dru Hill has sold over 40 million records worldwide. Recording new material and continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time.

In honor of their 25th Anniversary in the music industry, Dru Hill is featuring all members of the group, past and present, to give fans an experience they will never forget. Alongside founding members SisQo, Nokio, Jazz, and the latest additions Smoke and Black from the R&B group “Playa,” former members Scola and Tao rejoin the dynamic lineup. The group has exciting surprises in store for its expanding fan base everywhere.
