Hot New Nashville Singer/Songwriter Bree Brings David Castello Back to the Future

Unless you've been hiding under a rock you are already familiar with domain industry giants David and Michael Castello of Castello Cities Internet Network (owners of Nashville.com, PalmSpring.com, Whisky.com and many other great generic domains). I first told their story exactly five years ago this month in a December 2006 Cover Story called Band of Brothers: How Michael and David Castello Morphed from Struggling Musicians to Domain Millionaires

Before getting into domains, David and Michael were top notch rock musicians (see this video from their music heyday with Michael singing and David on drums: http://www.michaelseven.com/ ). In a strange twist of fate the two would go on to become rock stars in the domain business instead of the music world (our gain - the music industry's loss). 

Michael remains retired from the stage, but David,  who also ran clubs on L.A.'s world famous Sunset Strip, has suddenly found himself back behind his drum kit doing what he has always loved to do best.

This unexpected trip back to his roots and new plans for his future was set in motion earlier this year when he met a stunning young musician named Bree who simply blew him away. The two moved to Nashville this past summer and have been making big waves ever since they arrived in town.

David Castello

I know when you hear Nashville, many of you you immediately think country, but Music City U.S.A. also has a thriving rock scene that David and Bree have taken to like ducks to water. A huge buzz is building around Bree and local record executives have taken notice. 

Last night Bree and her band mates delivered an industry showcase performance at Diamond Sound Studios. The photos at left and below, taken by Gary Ashton, are from that event.  Next month they are going into the studio to record four songs. 

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing or hearing Bree in person yet, but David is convinced she is on the verge of breaking out in a big way. He is so convinced that, despite having so many other irons in the fire with CCIN, he has made managing her career his top priority. 

With his background in the music business, David knows talent when he sees it, so you can bet that Bree is something special and that we'll be hearing a lot more about her in the months and years ahead.
