David Josias, the 5th of seven children born and raised on Chicago’s Southside, is an Artist/ Songwriter/Producer who gained national notoriety from his independently released single, “Mindblowin”. It hit 1 at radio stations across the country and sold over 200,000 copies, garnered a Billboard Top 100 single, followed by a BET & Music Box most requested video. An R&R magazine review called him the “fresh new voice in R&B”.
Josias landed a record deal with Lava/Atlantic Records, under the guidance of legendary executive Jason Flom, and eventually recorded and released the independent, multi-CDs entitled “In My Life”, “Ghetto Love” and “Special Time”. His classic song “In My Life” is a most requested song and stands up against the classics of all time.
In addition to having written over 200 songs, BMI songwriter David Josias is also a talented musician on keyboards, trumpet, bongos, congas and various percussions. His styles and influences include Orchestra, Jazz, R&B, Classical,
David has done jingles for Bally's, Louis Rich Turkey, Johnson & Johnson's soft sheen and many others, he started playing bongos and congas at age 8 and at age 12 began playing the cornet. After graduating from grade school he was immediately recruited to the Chicago Vocational high school orchestra where he learned to read and play different styles of music such as jazz band, marching band, orchestra, blues etc. He also formed a band with his homeboys that he practiced with after school. They recorded several demo's and David 's percussion work was noticed by Marshall Jefferson (known for club hit "Move Your Body") who asked him to play on several record projects he had going on.
"Bongo Dave" as they called him ended up playing on records for ...Evelyn "Champagne" King, Tom Tom Club, Duran Duran, Ten City, Kym Mazelle and many others while still in high school and after performing in talent shows, block party's, night clubs and singing at weddings the beginning of David's hard work started paying off. David received a music scholarship to Grambling State University but instead he chose to go on tour.

“I woke up this morning with the late Danniebell Hall’s song, "Ordinary People" on my heart. The lyrics as you know them in part are “Just ordinary people, God uses ordinary people. He chooses people just like me and you who are willing to do as he commands …”
These are challenging times for many of us. The economy and the upcoming election has us paying close attention. It is important to know that no matter what we are facing … NOTHING is impossible with God. Seek his face, keep your faith and do as he commands. He will grant you a peace of mind in knowing that the next President will not determine your course in life, but your trust in the all mighty GOD will raise you up and position you to still accomplish your dreams, your hopes and your desires.
Yes, cast your vote … it is important; but most importantly, place your life in the Master’s hand … he got this … he got the economy, but most importantly, he got YOU…
