Being raised in a small town where southern new Mexico meets West Texas, Michael David straddled life between the dusty border town of El Paso and New Mexico. His family, a colorful collection of local characters were led by his grandfather—the county sheriff who also owned the town's bar. The color and diversity of the dry desert shaped his perspective on life and music—life was hard so you played hard. During this time, Michael David was raised by his grandfather, who encouraged him to sing in local talent shows. Fueled by his early success, he pursued his love for country music and the adrenaline of live performance. High school was typical for the area--hard-core country on most car radios, weekend drinking, riding bulls, fast cars and even faster women. Michael David kept up with the pace, even in high school, rather than working a "normal" summer job pushing hamburgers, he drove his own stock car at a local dirt track every Saturday night. Influenced by many late nights working on his car, the music of Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, and Randy Travis tore it up for him on the one station he could get on his car radio.
After graduation, he tried his hand in business marketing, but after 3 years he decided to follow his heart and work on music. So he went west...to the Musician's Institute in Hollywood, CA. Unknown to him, this was more of a rock and roll school and his first vocal coach told him he was in the wrong city and needed to move to Nashville. He stayed for a while in LA networking and building his career, but after his grandfather suddenly passed away, he realized that life was too short not to give it a try...and so he made the move to Nashville to pursue his dream.
Arriving in Nashville and singing in honky tonks, he was soon asked to start voicing demos for Golden Oak Music owned by Dan and Ruby Gold. Dan and Ruby have written many classics recorded by Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison, and even Ray Charles to name a few. He began working with this powerful couple and found his natural ability to write songs. Writing from his heart, he produces heartfelt ballads and songs that reflect rowdy honky tonks and beer joints, all with a quirkiness of the “post Seinfeld” era humor. Working further with vocal coach Kim Sandusky, his baritone voice is growing with power and emotion each and every day. Now as he has completed his initial recordings and begins the process of development, Michael David still loves to get on the lake and listen to music, spend long nights writing, and enjoys the wonderful way that is Nashville. Does he miss home? Hmm…no cactus, no dust, and no chili does makes him miss home occasionally....but home is where the heart is...and that is Nashville, Tennessee.
