David has been cutting his teeth as a valued member of Reviver Publishing, experimenting with different genres like country, pop, soul, & hip-hop, and is excited to further his already blossoming career.

Country powerhouse Josh Gracin has had quite an impact on country music since hits like “Nothin' to Lose” and “Brass Bed” - and now he is back and better than ever.

His new independent label, Revel Road Records has enlisted Reviver Records' hit-making marketing and promotion staff for his new music and he has inked a management deal with 117 Management. The Kinkead Entertainment Agency will continue to exclusively represent Gracin world-wide and 117 Publicity will handle PR representation.
