Jon Christopher Davis
After years of writing songs in Nashville for publishers, Warner Chappell and BMG, JCD returned home to his Texas roots. While in Nashville, he penned several songs for artists like Dolly Parton, Hal Ketchum, Tammy Cochran, Sherrie Austin, Billy Ray Cyrus (Hanna Montana's dad) and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles. "Little Bird," as recorded by Sherrie Austin, peaked at number 4 on Billboard's Top Country Singles Sales Chart. He also recorded his own songs for Warner Brothers, Sony and MCA Records, with the angelic voice of Vince Gill singing back-up.
JCD became friends as well as collaborators with some of the most respected names in the business. Look at his body of work over the last ten years and you'll find names beside his like Rodney Crowell, Radney Foster, Steve Lukather of Toto, Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Charlotte Caffey of The Go Go's as well as hit producers, Dann Huff (Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban) and David Z. (Prince, Jonny Lang).
Within a year of moving back, JCD signed a new record deal with indie label, Palo Duro Records. His long awaited debut CD was released nationwide in August of 2006. It quickly caught the attention of USA Today and popular music critic, Robert K. Oermann - "I'm a huge fan of this man's album. Its second single sizzles with zesty rhythm, yelping vocals, sidewinder guitar and a ridiculously catchy melody. The major-label "stars" on Music Row have nothing on this guy. Play this!"
In February 2008, the first Lone Star Attitude store, named after a popular JCD song, opened at DFW International Airport (Terminal C, Gate 33). It features high-end Texas merchandise displaying the Lone Star Attitude® brand. Baby Looks Good On You®, another brand born out of a JCD song, is also making waves around the world - babylooksgoodonyou.com.
In September of 2008, he, along with fellow Texas singer-songwriter, Deryl Dodd, released the patriotic song, "The Boy I Left Behind." It is now the official theme song for The American Fallen Soldiers Project. In June of 2009, JCD became the state-wide voice for TXU Energy. Check out the commercial on the home page!
In 2010, he launched justcoolmusic.com, the think tank, production arm of Lone Star Attitude, Inc. Its first release is the 25 song, double CD, "Demos from the Vault (1999-2009)."
