David Haynes was born in Columbia,South Carolina. One of four children to Roland and Minnie Haynes. In 94, not knowing really what the future had for him, David set off to germany to work as a musician, which led to an exstincive stay for 9 years for personal reasons. His initial entry into the music industry came happened at a show called, “Drummer’s Meeting in Koblenz,” Germany. The show featured Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Will Calhoun and Trilok Gurtu among others. While in Germany, David performed in numerous venues all over Europe and was asked to be part of the Music Meese, the European version of NAMM. Being in the right place at the right time, David’s notoriety increased and lead to such meetings with artists Sheila E (of Prince fame), Rhonda Smith, bass player, Kat Dyson, guitar player and the eventual recording sessions with Prince recorded at Paisley Park.
David has worked with numerous artists, such as Prince, Chaka Khan, Mary J. Blige, Stanley Jordan and Lee Ritenour to new a few. Now David is back in Atlanta with a mission to not only become the best musician he can, but to be a soldier in the struggle for winning souls to christ.
"I always wanted to play the drums but when i got on my brother Darryl's kit at age 11, he wasn't so happy about it.lol. Little did I know that the Lord was preparing me to develope a way to sound like a real drummer by playing a drummachine with MY FINGERS!!"
Over time, David's unique style of drumming, ezspecially,his finger-drumming led him to being featured on the front page of You Tube for almost three weeks. One of his videos has garnered over 550,000 hits and about a million hits for all of them in total.
If there are any common denominators when it comes to David Haynes, they are spirit and musicality.
Thanks for reading and many Yah's blessings be upon you....

SINCE THE RETURN FROM HER STAY ON THE MOON LUCIANNA LISTENS LIKE SPRING AND SHE TALKS LIKE JUNE
Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change...
Tell me did you sail across the Sun,did you make it to the Milky Way? to see the lights all faded and that heaven is over rated...
Tell me did you fall for a Shooting Star? One without a permanent scar...
And,"DID YOU MISS ME",while you were, "LOOKING AT YOURSELF", out there?
Now that she's back from that Soul Vacation Tracing her way through the Constellation She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's time to grow...
Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol'Jane Told me a story about a man who is afraid to fly, so he never did, never really knew why...
Tell me did the Wind sweep you off your feet, did you finally get the chance to dance along the Light Of Day, or head back to the Milky Way?
Tell me did Venus blow your mind? was it everything you wanted to find...
And,"DID YOU MISS ME",while you were, "LOOKING FOR YOURSELF",out there?
I HOPE YOU SAW YOURSELF AMONG THE STARS,I HOPE YOU FOUND YOU JUST AS YOU ARE!
Hi friend! Thanks for accept me. So amazing, great and rock music. Absolutely marvellous, I love it and listen over and over again! You're terrific! All the best in your music career. Best regards from Poland, Marika
There is a Rawness about you.
<br />The wonder to life.
<br />Pursue it, don’t sell out to get it.
<br />Don’t listen to the whines of those
<br />Who have settled for nothing.
<br />Your goal is not to live long, its to live.
<br />The option to yourself should be clear.
<br />The fire in your heart should be warm.
<br />Your impulse should be safety.
<br />Teach the class, change careers
<br />Run for office, make the difference.
<br />Sure its not all safe, but what is ?
<br />Those who try to keep their lives will lose.
<br />But those who gave up their lives…
<br />Have save many to give you
<br />a better day.
