David "D-Tox" Tolliver
 |
Born in the coal country of Hindman, Kentucky, D-Tox has lived his life. He's a no-bullshit kind of man. You may not like what he has to say but at least you'll know where he stands. He's a study of contrasts: Abrasive yet soft. Country-sensible but wide-eyed wild. "Crack you up" funny but serious as a heart attack. He's all of that and a great singer and songwriter to boot.
He's often asked, "What's D-Tox about?" "Buy me a beer and I'll tell you about it" is what you're likely to hear in a snappy comeback that leaves you amused, intrigued and motivated enough to buy that beer and talk a while. "D-Tox is actually just a play on my initials (DT) that a good friend of mine from back home laid upon me that has stuck through the years. You might get the impression from the name that my music may be a little rowdy at times! A little rowdy is a good thing but that ain't all you'll get out of me." With influences as wide-ranging as Garth Brooks, Bon Jovi, Travis Tritt, George Jones and Aerosmith, you can imagine what kind of living he's done to gain the nickname D-Tox.
Since moving to Nashville in 1998 to pursue a dream of being a recording artist, D-Tox has made a name for himself within the Music Row songwriting community. He knows who he is and having that focus and confidence in himself as a writer has afforded him the good grace to collaborate with some of Nashville's greatest writers including Kent Blazy, John Wiggins, Jon Randall, Shane Minor, Bob Dipero, and Jeffrey Steele to name a few. Signed to a publishing deal with EMI Nashville, D-Tox co-wrote 9 of the 11 songs on Halfway To Hazard's self-titled debut album. The first single, Daisy reached the Top 40 on Billboard's Country charts, and is a sign of great things to come.
