Denzel Crabtree A Parting Shot Of Talent Denzel was born in Plant City, Florida, (known more as a baseball spring training camp before). It is now known as the birthplace of one truly talented Indie. Denzel didn't stay in Florida to hone his country music skills, in fact, he went north-just for a bit-and while up there the story bagan. Denzel spent a few of his high school years in the hills of Kentucky. While there he picked up a guitar, and learned to play, and play it well. He played along to the songs of his icons-Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin, and his favorite idol Keith Whitley. It didn't take long for this kid, with a natural gift to attract attention. He started winning local talent contests in Kentucky. By the age of sixteen, Denzel knew what path to follow-he loved songwriting and he knew he could sing. And believe me you he can sing with the best of them! Denzel continued his growth as a musician in his younger years winning more contests in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. His career has continued to take off, and he is now opening for such big named acts as John Micheal Montgomery, Jeff Bates, Dierks Bentley, and Big And Rich just to name a few. Denzel's writing, his look, and his voice make him a total package. He is one Indie you should definately keep an eye on, we certainly will! The Big Kahuna Indie Islands.com
