A few weeks ago, I received a friend request on Facebook from a man by the name of Dustin Lynch. I had no idea who he was, but I clicked on his page as I normally do when I receive friend requests from people that I'm unfamiliar with. His picture was of him in a cowboy hat, holding a guitar, and totally rocking out in an almost Justin-Moore-like pose. As I scrolled down, I noticed who our mutual friends were: Kory Caudill, Joshua Cross and Roger Coleman II (all in Justin Moore's band), Emily West (love that girl!), and Lee Francis (he plays bass for my friend Angela Engelman). Judging by all of that, I figured this fella HAD to be pretty badass, so I accepted him.
Once we were "friends," I headed back over to his page to learn more about him (my blog posts make me sound totally stalker-ish haha!). Turns out he's a country music singer, newly signed to Valory Music Company. Now, I'm sure some of you know how near and dear to my heart Valory Music is. They are home to one of my favorite people on the planet, Mr. Justin Moore (I guess that would explain the mutual friends and such), and one of my favorite record labels on the planet! I was actually surprised that I had never heard of him before, but I decided to take a listen to some of his music... and boy, am I glad that I did!
Besides Dustin's radiating smile (seriously, it's beautiful!), he is a man bursting with talent in many different aspects of the music industry. He has a very pure voice; one that makes you just want to close your eyes, relax, and listen. He is easy on the ears, with an almost soulful aspect to his voice. He makes it appear effortless and keeps listeners coming back for more. In addition, what a beautiful songwriter Dustin is! I have only heard three songs from him so far (the three that are on his Myspace), but each one left me in awe of his talents as a songwriter. My personal favorite song is "Moment Before a Lifetime." This song is very relatable to all audiences. It brought tears to my eyes and sent chills up my arms. I have been replaying it ever since I heard it for the first time.
I don't know much about Dustin yet, but I hope to get to know more about him in the near future. He is super talented and seems like somebody who can really make their mark in the music industry. From what I can gather, Dustin is in the studio now recording his album. I'm not sure when it comes out, but hopefully soon!
You can find Dustin on Facebook and twitter (@dustinlynch), and you can listen to some of his songs on his myspace account at the link provided above. I hope you enjoy this shining star!
