About

Quotes

“You were great. The first time I saw Garth Brooks he was a bit

like you tonight.”

— RANDY OWENS

“Among this year’s contestants are five men and five women ages

18-36. The one to watch is country rocker Dustin Wilkes, of GA.”

— WALT BELCHER, TAMPA TRIBUNE

“We thought (his) original song stood out above the rest ... miles

apart in styles, “I Bleed Country” by Dustin Wilkes.” “I Bleed

Country” is proof Dustin Wilkes is not only a singer but a successful

songwriter.

JAN DUKE, “YOUR GUIDE TO NASHVILLE”

“If I had to pick a winner, I’d go with Dustin Wilkes ... he won the

crowd over. Wilkes had an outlaw appeal and seems like the only contestant

that has the chops to perform classic-sounding material.”

— MATT - HTTP://WWW.THE9513.COM

“Dustin is one of the best singer’s I have ever worked with. His

vocal performance screams radio!”

— WAYNE BAIRD, CO-PRODUCER

lift him above the crowd.”

(BUCKY COVINGTON, CASTING CROWNS,

— DALE OLIVER, CO-PRODUCER

Biography

Dustin, originally from Jefferson, GA, arrived in Nashville in the fall of 2004 within just hours

of being discharged from the Marine Corp. During his time serving our country as a US Marine he

volunteered to package and sort toys for the Toys for Tots Foundation. After watching a child gaze

longingly at the toys, Dustin sat down and wrote "One Toy at a Time". This song was used for the

their nationwide campaign that ultimately raised over $350,000 for children nationally. Dustin received

the US Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medal, the only marine in history to receive a medal for

writing a song.

Raised in rural Georgia and adopted by his paternal grandparents Dustin began at an early age to

develop his love of music and songwriting. He would stay up all night playing his guitar and writing.

His southern roots shine through his music.

He has been a two-time regional finalist in the Colgate Country Showdown, country music’s

largest and oldest talent contest in the world. He was a top ten finalist on USA Network’s Nashville

Star, which drew 9 million viewers nationwide.

Dustin has perfected the art of entertaining Country Music fans in the clubs and bars in downtown

Nashville. He has a passion for not only the music but a passion to entertain. Dustin is truly country

music’s up and coming artist for a modern day southern rock revival. But don’t be fooled, though

Dustin can work a crowd with his hard country rock, he can turn into an instant crooner with that

special slow song.

Dustin is also committed to fundraising for various charities that have been special to him during

his career thus far. On June 9, 2009, Dustin hosted the “The Dustin Wilkes and Friends Fight to End

Endometriosis”, an annual event held during CMA Music Festival Week. Be sure to visit the website

www.end-endo.com for more information on this charity.

Recently, Dustin was chosen to participate in a project called Operation: Sound Off! which

was created by Grammy Award winner Robert Reynolds and Producer/Arranger Scotty Huff. OSO is

reaching out to talented active duty and veteran status military personnel, who have put their musical

dreams on hold in order to serve their country. OSO provides the unique opportunity for these brave

individuals to express themselves and tell their stories through music. They will have the opportunity to

record their music in a world class recording studio with the best session musicians in the business.

Dustin Wilkes is an enthusiastic entertainer, singer and songwriter that will have the crowd begging

for more.
