Details:
Ask any young boy what he wants to be when he grows up and chances are heâll say fireman or policeman, astronaut or president. But not so for David Michael. He had visions of tour buses and walks on the Grammy's red carpet dancing in his young head. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But David never forgot those childhood dreamsâeven when life got in the way.

With little recollection of his biological parents, David bounced around Ohioâs foster care system until he was nine years old. His favorite childhood memory is the day he and his younger brother Andy were finally adopted into a family they could call their own. And while his new parents werenât exactly Ward and June Cleaver, he acknowledges the hand of God in bringing him through the dark and painful days of his youth.

Like the song says, âIâve had angels take me under their wings, ordinary people do extraordinary things.â* One such angel was his fifth-grade music teacher who first planted seeds of hope in Davidâs potential as a singer. Ironically, he would learn years later that he possessed a rich musical heritage from both his birth-mother, a southern gospel singer, and his birth-father, a drummer in a band called The Renegades.

But it took a spiritual transformation just five years ago to encourage this ruggedly handsome and outgoing singer to finally reach for his dream. âGod saved me,â says David, âboth inside and out.â He tells of a friend named CJ, his âspiritual fatherâ and mentor who affirmed Davidâs passion for singing and urged him to pursue the dream that God put into his heart.

âMy background has everything to do with what Iâm about as a musician,â he says. After overcoming such a difficult past, David wants to use his gift to inspire people. He also recognizes the power of music. âTo change a personâs mood from sad to good, to happy, to inspirationalâthatâs what I want to do.â

As for those who inspire David Michael, you need only look at those closest to him. First and foremost, David credits his brother Andy as the greatest personal influence in his life. âAndy has a strength and spirit that doesnât quit. Going through all the hard times, he has never given up. And thatâs what inspires me to do what I was once told I could never do.â

He flashes a ready smile when asked about his wife. âSpending time with Becky refreshes my soul.â Married in August of 2007, the newlyweds beam with eager anticipation about this musical journey theyâre undertaking. âGod, Becky, musicâtogether, theyâre the completion of who I am.â

âDavid Michael is a talent on two fronts,â says DJ Barry Howell of WYHT/Clearchannel in Mansfield, Ohio. âHe has the gift of natural and true rhythm that makes him a legitimate dancer . . . and a tenor vocal ability thatâs a mixture of Gary Levox and Ray Charles.â Howell believes Davidâs âdrive, ambition, love of music, and God-given talents to express it vocally make him a natural in the music and recording business.â

Which leads one to believe those tour bus visions and red carpet dreams at the Grammies might be more than just wishful thinking for David Michael.
