David Dowlen
The debut release of David Dowlen''s, Giving All My Praise is proof positive that God can work through any vessel he chooses. With a voice that is both smooth and unique and a gift of songwriting that touches the soul, David Dowlen hits the scene ready to glorify our savior.
"Music is so powerful" he says. "I draw all my power from Jesus Christ which is the true source of that power. I have always tried to write songs that were a true reflection of the things I personally struggle with or have gone through. Being able to help influence change as well as being used by God as he transforms someone''s life is phenomenal."
David ''s songs will definitely grab your attention. On the cd Giving All My Praise, his catchy hooks combined with his powerful lyrics will draw you in. This is a man who is definitely being used by God.
The album''s title song, written as are all the other selections by David, is a beautiful praise song with a mix of lovely harmonies and melodies. "This song brings tears to my eyes," David says.
"I Need You" is an upbeat, extremely funky song with David showing his versatility by actually rapping on this single. "Consequences" has an R&B feel with a message that will make everyone, young and old stop and think. "You Get Me" is a driving song with a rock feel. David shows some of his guitar skills with a solo at the songs end. "It will definitely get you up and out your seat."
"Quality Time" is a convicting song with a smooth groove and hook. "You will be singing this one even after the radio''s turned of." David says, "it''s time to slow down and reconnect with God and give him some quality time."
David was born in Columbus Ohio. As a child, singing, music and dancing was always a part of his life. Unsaved until he was in his early twenties David''s musical influences ranged from Stevie Wonder to Commission . " I have always just loved to sing."
David was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, without a relationship with the Lord until the age of 22. His sister Janice who passed away in 1991 would always speak to him about the Lord. "David says that he wonders if he''d even have a relationship with Christ had it not been for her prayers and preaching to him."
One of the more pleasant qualities about David is his humility. "David says that when you clearly have a God given gift, it is your responsibility to use it in it''s proper respect.
A prideful or non humble attitude concerning any gift that God has given you, is a slap in the face of God I believe. My prayer is that I will always remain a humble Godly man, ready and willing to be used by him.
David also plays the guitar a little. "he says with a smile" I''m not as skilled as I''d Like to be, but I can carry a tune. David currently works in law enforcement. He joined the praise team at New Community Bible Fellowship church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio about three years ago. Being a member of our praise and worship team, I believe was a platform that God used to prepare me for such a time as this.
"If you had said a year ago that I would have a debut release of a CD and that I would be ministering my music to the body of Christ and others, I might have laughed."
Well Lord I guess you got the last laugh {smile}. Praise your holy name. My service from this point on is to help encourage and lift up others using the gifts that God has trusted to me.
I heard someone say that," the talent you have, is a gift from God. What you do with that talent, is your gift back to God!
