David attended Baylor University a Christian University in Waco; Texas where he was surprised to learn over half of the students did not attend church. Therefore, this is why he created the band. He along with Chris Seay started attending University Baptist Church in 1996 while they were still in school. The congregation and the bands lineup grew ever since.
David started to write songs to incorporate into the services and then the church released a CD, “Pour Over Meâ€, and another in 1999, “All I Can Sayâ€. When he first started to write it was always about things he was going through. Now, he just writes songs while driving in the car with his wife. He still writes his songs with his congregation in mind.
In 2004, they went on their first headlining tour. They were offered to go on tour the same year with Michael W. Smith and Mercy Me.
