DAVE
HOLLISTER
GRAMMY-WINNING R&B ARTIST
The truth, R&B genius, melodious voice from heaven;
no matter the description given none can completely
consume or cover all of the vocal talents that lie within this
one man - Dave Hollister. Dave’s career began with the
group Black Street, and his talent propelled him to his solo
career His first solo project was released in 1999 entitled
Ghetto Hymns. This album went gold rendering the single
“My Favorite Girl”. This single went on to reach the top ten
of the R&B charts. “Ghetto Hymns” served as a notice to
the industry and the world that Mr. Hollister was here.
He went on to complete seven additional albums over the
years. During that time is when Dave released the highly
successful project “Chicago 85”. It was on this album that
the single “One Woman Man” was the chart topping single,
also reaching the top ten R&B charts. And now he’s back
with his new single: Spend the Night.
