Musical career
Keith Stegall was born in Wichita Falls, Texas in 1955. He performed in local bands, spent a short time in northwestern Louisiana (in the mid 1970s) where he operated a small-time music recording business, then moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the persuasion of Kris Kristofferson.[3]
Stegall charted thirteen singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, with the highest-peaking being 1985's "Pretty Lady", a No. 10 hit.[2] Starting in the late 1980s, Stegall has been active primarily as a record producer for several recording acts, most notably Alan Jackson, George Jones, Zac Brown Band, and Clay Walker.[2] Stegall has also written several of Jackson's singles, as well as George Strait's Number one hit "I Hate Everything" and Dr. Hook's "Sexy Eyes".
In 2008, Stegall co-founded the label Bigger Picture Music Group.[4] The label closed in 2014.
