David Upton

David Upton is a singer and a songwriter, known for his unique ability to craft lyrics that reach into the soul of a listener. He served for many years as a worship leader, as well as touring around the country leading worship and performing concerts.

Starting at an early age, David found himself witnessing the inevitable consequences of life choices when he lost his father to a drug overdose at the age of 8. Despite his environment, David was a blessed child, often shielded from many of the negative things that most would expect growing up in a lifestyle of family addiction. David also found himself in his teenage years, struggling to find his way and locking arms with all the wrong people, but was led out of this lifestyle before the consequences were too great for him to bear.

Serving in the U.S. Marine Corps gave David the discipline and ambition he needed to succeed in life, but he learned very quickly that success wasn't going to be enough to satisfy the deep longing that he had in his heart. Life's ups and downs led him to a very significant turning point in his life, where he was able to merge his musical talents and strong communication skills with ministry. He joined the ranks of Rick Warren's Saddleback Church as a worship leader and began his journey into music ministry. The years at Saddleback Church brought him close to many of the world's most renowned musicians, songwriters and performers and formed him into the artist and leader that he is today.
