Dawud Wharnsby began writing poetry, composing music and performing while in his mid-teens. Since 1995 his recording career has yielded a string of over fifteen albums including the internationally-popular CD's "A Whisper of Peace", "The Poets and the Prophet" and "Out Seeing the Fields". His 2009 book, "For Whom The Troubadour Sings", includes the lyrics to all of his songs written between 1998 and 2008.
His writings of English language “nasheed” (spiritual hymns drawn from Qur’anic ideology) were among the first of their kind written and distributed professionally around the world. As a voice for the socially-conscious and spiritually-minded, his work has inspired a generation of educators, artists, poets and musicians.
Dawud often travels worldwide to share his poetry and songs with audiences of all ages. He also frequently lectures at schools, conferences and universities.
Dawud and his family reside seasonally between their homes in Pakistan, Canada and the United States.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your circle of friends.
I love listening to the snippets of your songs in your MySpace profile. Honestly speaking, your music and lyrics are really awe-inspiring and beautifully written. I can't wait to purchase your latest album. Hopefully your album is still available at my local music store.
All Respect. New song pon I site called "StreetAnthem", feautering my son Alex (L.X), and with music by André Roots (Big Up tp him, me can't thank him enough). Please if you have time, listen in and give me feedback. Song is bout gang and gangwars.
Brother, I am glad to find that you are in Pakistan. I wish that you enjoyed your stay here. There is so much happening in the country and we are sad to see all the bloodshed and killings. I am sure that you knew that it was not the true depiction of Islam. I will request you to raise your voice and share your thoughts on all this non-sense. We do need people like you to tell the world most important those who were born in Muslim families that what real Islam is all about and what does this all non-sense represent. We look to hear your thoughts in public. Please keep us posted of your plans and if you are coming to Karachi and giving a talk we would love to attend this. By the way I am sure that my kids will be excited to see Adam and Aneesa!
Assalamu'alaikum Bro Dawud! Hope you n the family are well, I'm heading out to live in Qatar Insha'Allah, no Abbotabad but at least I'm hoping I'd hear the Adhan 5 times a day!:) Insha'Allah. My salaams to the family.
