Labeled a ’song stylist’, Davis’ unique ability to interpret a song soon made her one of the most sought after session singers in Nashville. She caught the attention of label executives and landed her first record deal with CBS/Epic Records. Davis quickly gained a legion of friends and fans in the music industry, one being superstar Reba McEntire. McEntire loved Davis’ music so much that she invited her to become a featured entertainer on tour with her. Their mutual respect led them into the studio together where they recorded a duet entitled “Does He Love You” that went on to become a #1 hit and earn both artists several awards including a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Collaboration.
On the heels of her success with Reba, Davis inked a new deal with Capitol Records and later with Arista Records. There she continued her string of chart success and building her rapidly growing fan base on tour. She was later recruited as one of the first artists signed to Dreamworks Records. It was there that she appeared on the soundtrack for the motion picture Black Dog starring Patrick Swayze. She also partnered with another superstar, Randy Travis, to record the song Make It Through, which was included in the gold-selling companion CD for the award winning movie Prince of Egypt.
Davis’ latest cd, I Have Arrived (including three songs she penned), received rave reviews and garnered country music critic Robert Oermann to say “Her performance is full of fire and passion. This can stand toe to toe with any product out there.” Davis’ latest single, of the same title, recently reached #5 on the Christian Country Charts.
