Dave Hollister has led a successful and varied career, moving from a tenure with the 1990s popular hitmakers Blackstreet to a solo career that saw albums like GHETTO HYMNS receive critical accolades. With these impressive career achievements under his belt, Hollister chose in 2006 to return to his gospel roots. His second gospel release, 2008's WITNESS PROTECTION, mines a deeply soulful gospel sound that's as informed by Hollister's pop and R&B past as it is by his devotion to his faith. Smooth, soothing, and inspirational (just check out "Standing" or "Striving"), WITNESS PROTECTION testifies to the musical and spiritual evolution of this fine singer.
