David Kersh
(born December 9, 1970 in Humble, Texas[1]) is an American country music singer who made his debut in 1996. His first album, Goodnight Sweetheart, was released that year, producing four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. A second album, titled If I Never Stop Loving You, was released a year later, producing three additional chart singles. Although he never charted after 1998, Kersh remained active in the music business until 2005.
Prior to becoming a musician, David Kersh worked as a sanitation expert.[2] Kersh got his musical start in his early 20s, while working at various dance halls throughout the state of Texas.[1][2]
Curb Records signed Kersh in 1996, and his debut album, Goodnight Sweetheart, was released the same year, with its title track peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The album also featured the #3 single "Another You" (which was written by a then-unknown Brad Paisley) and the #11 "Day In, Day Out".
In 1998, Kersh's second album was released. If I Never Stop Loving You was the name of both the album and its lead-off single, which was also a #3. The album also featured "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out", co-written by Chris Cagle; although Kersh's version of the song was never issued as a single, Cagle would later cut the song himself and take it to Number One on the country music charts in early 2002. "If I Never Stop Loving You" was followed by a #29-peaking cover of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", and the #46 "Something to Think About".
In 1999, Kersh posed shirtless in Playgirl magazine.[3] Later that year, he was forced to put his career on hold due to strain on his vocal cords.[4] By 2005, Kersh had announced that he was leaving the country music scene.[5] On his website, Kersh wrote a letter to his fans, explaining that his "heart is just not in the music business anymore".[6][7]
