Despite being only 21 years old, David J has been singing, songwriting, and performing for nearly a decade. Growing up in Rotterdam, New York, he originally dreamt of joining the NFL as a kid. However, his passion shifted when he watched Justin Bieber’s documentary concert film “Never Say Never.” He was captivated by Bieber’s ability to unite a team and create fantastic shows, inspiring him to pursue a music career.
Starting with singing competitions and open mic nights, David impressed club owners who invited him to play regular gigs. Over time, he gained a loyal following, leading to longer nighttime performances and eventually headline slots on weekends. In early 2021, David began honing his sound with Grey Area Music and later connected with Ryan Tedder, the frontman of OneRepublic and one of his musical idols. Thrilled by Tedder’s support, David is now set to make his mark on the country-pop music scene with the backing of Grey Area Music, Sony Music Nashville, and Tedder’s Runner Music.
