David Phelps is one of the Top Performer in the World of Music. God has truly blessed him with the very powerful, amazing and tremendous voice non-like other. As what people say, he's one of the best Christian singer in the planet earth. He sing for God, and that's what makes him GREAT.

Art reflects Life... but not necessarily the way we think. A sculptor can shape a block of marble into a human form. A painter's brush can put a landscape in a frame. But though such works of art may be beautiful, they are not reflections of the all-encompassing essence of 'Life'. They are merely re-creations of the ordinary, fashioned by a talented eye... Everyday Art reflects the artist's view.

What brings Art 'to Life' is when visionaries get a glimpse of the Big Picture. When talented eyes can look past the ordinary and recognize that they, too are creations of the Ultimate Artiste, everyday moments can become Life-reflecting portraits, sculptures, books. And when a visionary, like recording artist David Phelps, acknowledges The Divine in his life, the common events of every-day can actually turn into songs...

That one 'thing' Phelps sings about so passionately did not appear to him in some dramatic flash of light. It was revealed gradually; artistically woven through the everyday activities of his childhood in Tomball, Texas. In that little town, northwest of Houston, David was surrounded by a nurturing neighborhood. His parents, a CPA and an English professor, provided a no-nonsense, down-to-earth environment for their two daughters and son. It was a rural community content with the everyday activities of work, school, chores and church. It was Mayberry with sagebrush.

In this safe, practical, Norman Rockwell paradise only one thing defied the speed limit; the rapid growth of David's obvious talents. Though the Phelps family had their feet firmly planted on the ground, they knew how to raise the roof with a song; for part of their routine was a daily, disciplined dose of music. From the kids' weekly piano lessons, to the family's frequent rehearsals for their church performances, young David was consistently exposed to the audible Arts; That daily rhythm of harmonized Gospel motivated the youngster to such a degree, that he began to exhibit skills beyond the ordinary.

Although his gift was obvious to both his family and the members of his local church, it was David's appearance in a high school talent show that offered the first inkling that his music was more than the re-creations of a talented voice. Taking the stage, like every contestant before him, the nervous freshman opened his mouth. And in the time it took to sing a single phrase of 'Bethlehem Morning,' Phelps' snickering classmates fell silent. At the song's conclusion, the only sound in the auditorium was the echo of his foot steps, as he turned to leave. But just as he stepped off the stage, the stunned hall erupted in applause. And the singer heard someone call out, "Look, they're standing!" Peaking through the curtain at the sight, David Phelps got his first glimpse of the Big Picture.

Looking back on David Phelps' own legacy, so far, he has come a long way from Tomball, Texas. Over the last eight eventful years David's artistry has echoed off the walls of Carnegie Hall, and vibrated the chandeliers in the White House. His masterful melodies have been burned into six award-winning Gaither Vocal Band CDs, five critically-acclaimed solo offerings, and well over 40 certified Gold and Platinum Gaither "Homecoming" collections. It has been a showcase far above the expectations of any ordinary artist. But for David, a perpetual work in progress, these happy years have been just an extended glimpse of the Creator's bigger picture.

Trusting in that Divine design, Phelps' Life Is A Church comes on the heels of his announcement to bow out of the Gaither Vocal Band. Though not an easy decision, it was made as an exercise of faith and growth. Pushing the boundaries is every artist's goal, and David's focus is beyond the ordinary.

  • I use the high note of David Phelps at 4.33 to show how much superior a note is when it is dead straight as it is at the beginnig of the note and for most of it,compared to the vibrato which he uses at the end of the note as he runs out of diaphragm support as his air supply is near used up.So diaphragm support is the secret to making dead straight notes which do not need vibrato to make them musical and flexible. Violins and all other string tones are the same except that there is no diaphragm.

  • GOD BLESS HIM SO MUCH WITH THAT WONDERFUL VOICE.. praise God

    Thank you for your testimony. I wish everyone could see their need for CHrist and that he can save us from our bondages to addictions and our sins. I have family that have addictions to heroin, crack, pornography and it is hopeful when I read a testimony like yours. God Bless
