*After breaking into the music business as part of Teddy Riley’s hit-making group BlackStreet, Dave Hollister brought his gritty tenor, down home and soul-drenched ‘keeping it real’ approach to a string of hits.
Creating numerous anthems about love, life, respect and lessons learned, the Gold-selling singer managed to merge inspirational material with edgy songs fusing the best of R&B and Hip Hop.
Dave Hollister
Through it all, Hollister’s approach has been able to ‘keep it 100’ while dealing with the ups and downs of life from different perspectives, all held together by the honest and soulful expressiveness of his voice.
Yet many feel that he has been under-recognized, possibly because of the multi-faceted nature of his personal and artistic journey.

Hollister on Single ‘Definition of a Woman’:
“Love feels so good. Those of us men who have been
fortunate enough to experience true love wrapped in romance can attest
to the fact that there’s nothing else like it. It’s a very specific
feeling to have the love of a woman.”

“We are really pleased to be releasing Dave Hollister’s new album, which I think will be received as a major artistic statement by him,” says Shanachie General Manager Randall Grass. “While it is widely recognized that he has a great voice, we don’t feel that the depth of his talent has gotten its due yet. We think this album will change that.”
Walter W. Millsap III of Conjunction Entertainment was drawn to sign and work with Hollister based on his unique appeal. “Dave Hollister’s soul-stirring vocals have graced chart-topping pop, hip-hop, and R&B songs alike. Female fans are drawn to his signature style of singing, which is powerful and velvety.
He has a significant male following as well, being that he speaks freely of his own transgressions and of his shortcomings and his struggle to live and love the right way.”
“When Walter shared Dave Hollister’s new music with me, I grew  very excited about the potential of the project,” states Marv Mack, President of TopNotch Music. “Dave has one of the most powerful, creative and distinctive voices which makes him a driving force in R&B!  Walter’s production presentation and studio chemistry with Dave really makes the new album more then competitive in the urban market place. The new single “Definition of a Woman”will touch the heart and souls of women on a universal level.”
