Phil Vassar is as driven today as he was when he first left his Lynchburg, Virginia home to pursue – and realize – his dream of making his mark in entertainment. His career accomplishments include the release of eight albums, two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year trophies, Billboard Country Songwriter of the Year, and the launch of his own Rodeowave Entertainment label. As a singer/songwriter, Phil has hit the Top 5 seven times with songs like “Carlene,” “Last Day of My Life” and “American Child” and topped the country charts with “In A Real Love” and the perennial favorite “Just Another Day in Paradise.”
Known as one of Nashville’s top tunesmiths, he has written #1 hits for Tim McGraw (“My Next Thirty Years”), Alan Jackson (“She’s Right on the Money”), and Jo Dee Messina (“Bye, Bye” and “I’m Alright”). New artist David Nail’s recording of “The Sound of a Million Dreams” was named Billboard’s #1 Country Song of 2012.
Vassar continues to churn out incisive, soulful lyrics and infectious melodies that capture the heart and soul in the unique and special way that only he can, and his latest single, “Love Is Alive,” is no exception. For Vassar, his philosophy about songs never changed during his time spent writing hits for himself and other artists: it’s important for a song to carry a message and make the listener feel something.
“Songs should evoke something, whether it makes you happy and puts you in a good mood, or makes you cry and feel desperation…you know, whether you’re going through a marriage, or a divorce, or you’re in love or you hate somebody, or whatever it is… songs should evoke something,” says Vassar. “And if it’s just having a drink with your friends in the hot tub, that’s just as good as any song for me! I mean, I’ve had hits with every kind of song – ballads, mid-tempos, up-tempos and silly kinds of songs. You can’t save the whales with every song you write, that’s too heavy for me,” he adds, laughing. “I honestly don’t think I’ve written my best songs yet,” he added.
