Chanteur Country US né le 28 mai 1964 à
Lynchburg (Virginie).
Contemporary country singer Phil Vassar made his name as a chart-topping
songwriter before landing a record deal and becoming a hitmaking artist in his
own right. Vassar was born in Lynchburg, VA, and won a track scholarship to
James Madison University, where he first began to take music seriously. He moved
to Nashville, learned to play piano, and sang his original material in clubs.
One club patron and fan brought Vassar's demo tape to his father, crooner
Engelbert Humperdinck, and Humperdinck wound up recording "Once in a While," a
song Vassar had co-written with a bartender friend, in 1996. Vassar's
songwriting career blossomed from there, as he landed a publishing contract with
EMI and penned hits for Collin Raye
("Little Red Rodeo"), Alan Jackson
("Right on the Money"), Tim McGraw ("For
a Little While"), Jo Dee Messina
("Bye Bye," "I'm Alright"), and BlackHawk
("Postmarked Birmingham"). He signed a record deal of his own with Arista in
1998 and was named ASCAP's Country Songwriter of the Year in 1999. His self-titled
debut album was released in 2000, and the lead single, "Carlene," shot into the
country Top Five; its follow-up, "Just Another Day in Paradise," went all the
way to number one. "Six-Pack Summer" also reached the Top Ten, and yet another
single from the album, "That's When I Love You," became Vassar's third Top Five
hit in early 2002. Phil Vassar was certified gold for sales of half a
million copies, and its follow-up, American Child, was released later in
2002. The title track gave Vassar yet another Top Five single.
