BIO

Outstanding talent always speaks for itself. It stands out from crowds of gimmicks, flashy clothes and pretty faces, and rises above odds, obstacles and any lesser contenders. Great talent cannot be learned or created—it is simply given to a special few. And when that talent is dedicated to a higher purpose, there's no telling where it may take the one who possesses it.

Pop vocalist and songwriter David Phelps has been given such a talent. Credited by many as having one of today's most spectacular voices, David has seen countless thousands rise to their feet for his inspiring, powerhouse performances. His audiences have included George W. Bush, massive crowds at Billy Graham Crusades, and millions of "ABC News" viewers, and his voice has brought him multiple Grammy and Dove awards. And with the release of his new solo debut for Word Records, Revelation, Phelps is poised to reach an even greater audience of fans around the globe. Yet amid all the acclaim, David has a special person in his life who reminds him to always honor the One who gave that talent to him.

His wife of eleven years, Lori, helps David balance his dual roles as acclaimed vocalist and down-to-earth husband and father of four. "Most of us don't get the chance to have even one standing ovation or round of applause in our lives, so working on a stage of any kind can give you a really unrealistic view of life if you're not careful," David reveals. "In her own loving way, Lori won't let me live in that place of applause, and I'm very thankful for that."

Recognized from an early age for his unusual talent, David knew from the beginning that he wanted to perform music for the glory of God. Not everyone understood his commitment to faith, however. "I had several teachers who felt that I should be singing opera, or performing somewhere on Broadway," he recalls. "In college particularly, I had a teacher who kept pushing me strongly toward classical music, but when she finally accepted that Christian music was what God was calling me to do, that became the turning point for me."

A miracle is what God had in mind. In Nashville, David met with executives from Word Records and found out about an opportunity with best-selling vocal foursome Gaither Vocal Band. Two weeks later, he officially joined the group that has brought him four Dove Awards, two Grammy Awards, and over 13 gold and 15 platinum-selling projects.

My thirst for the things of this earth, isn't quenched by diamonds or pearls/One man lived the life I want—He's the One they said ruled the world/Though He only wore a crown of thorns, and He never owned a thing…I want to live like a King!

Those words also reveal the purpose behind the tremendous talent God has placed in David's own life. Despite being given such great ability and opportunity, David Phelps is a man who will forever invest that gift in honor of its Giver.

David,

Your voice surpasses any other I have ever heard. You are the greatest and when I can I go to hear you sing. I love your new CD. You could make anything sound great.
May God bless you and your family in all that you do. He is the one who gave you that most beautiful voice and knowing you sing to make Him smile is great.

Please come to South Carolina soon.

Thanks,

Is any of your music availible in TRAX format for others to sing

Submitted by John Sostrom on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 3:19pm.

David, greetings in Christ the Lord,

I wanted to find out if any of your music is available in multi-key TRAX format. I do some singing at my home church (Mt. Zion in Beavercreek OH) and usually find what I am to sing by going into one of the local Christian book stores and sitting down with the TRAX until God moves me to a particular piece. For instance the Sunday after Christmas this year I am doing “Christmas Shoes”. This one has been particularly hard and has taken me three years to reach the point where I can sing it without breaking down in tears.

Anyway, in particular I would like to find a TRAX of your song “The Singer (Let There Be Light)” from your “One Wintery Night” CD. I heard it on CDR Radio (The Path) and it took hold of me. If it is available, particularly with background vocals, can you tell me which vendor carries it? I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your gift,

John D Sostrom

Hello David.
I listen to your music just about everyday. Your voice is so beautiful. I find myself either crying or clapping or even both at the same time. I sing along, thank goodness no one can hear me because i DO NOT have your talent.

I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. I've been hoping and praying for you to come to Pittsburgh or somewhere in Pa! I would love to see you.

God Bless,
Leslie
