Born 1970 in Southern Maryland. I began to be influenced by Country Music early in my childhood. My grandmother would constantly play Johnny Cash on the house 8-track and my father would constantly play CW McCAll on the truck 8-track
Hello Everyone
My name is Robert Beall. I am a Country Singer/Songwriter from North Carolina. I grew up in Southern Maryland and as a child we were rather poor. My mother invested all her money int a track of land of about 25 acres. What she failed to plan for was housing.
We moved onto the land with no house. We cut down trees to make logs and then we stacked the logs; just like any typical firewood stack, and we placed a blue tarp over them for a roof and there we were; at home.
We lived in this make-shift cabin for about a month, then my mother bought a single-wide trailer and me moved in. Yeah we were Kings without water or electricity.
We lived in that trailer without utilities for about one year. One day I came home from school and I noticed a yard full of well rings sitting in the front yard. I was so glad we were finally gonna get water, but little did I know it would be my 8 or 9 year old but digging that well every afternoon for 6 more months.
After having established utilities and such we built a barn, where we raised horses. Those horses became my childhood best friends. I spent days in that barn with my friends listening to Country Music. Little did I know I was being groomed for future plans as a writer.
I took that experience and grew up. Now I am a Detective Sgt. for a major crimes unit in NC. I write country music and my past will bleed through my words.
I hope my life will be heard through what I write and I hope you enjoy what I write along the way..
Thanks for having me..
Robert Beall

Those early influences made the transition from pop-culture kid in suburban Washington DC to Country Music kid a rather easy on to accept. It just took the right Country song to convert me to Country. That song came on late evening on the barn radio called "You've Got A Lover" by Ricky Skaggs.
I would later become involved in the Country Music Industry by way of a stage hand for acts like Joe Diffie, Steve Wariner, Sammy Kershaw, Clinton Gregory, Eddie Rabbit. While working for Mountain Productions I became bit by the music bug an Country was its name.
Ive been writing ever since. My quest is now to write powerful song that stand the test of time, while refusing to bend to the non-traditional country in order to do it.
Keep it Traditional I always say. Thats what they keep coming back to hear and thats why its lasted for over a century |
