I Am Found by Aaron David

He learned to play very quickly and was asked to teach at his

Uncle’s music store, after four months of self-instruction.

Besides the family musical influences, during Aaron’s High School

teen years as a youth music leader in his local church in Canada,

his passion for writing and pursuing a career in Christian Music

was continuing to take shape.

Part of that journey of development included his arrival in

Australia, which came about from a series of circumstances.

After his parents’ separation in 1997, his mother’s poor health

forced her to move to the warmer climate of Australia where she

later remarried and became a citizen. Aaron remained in Canada

with his father but made yearly visitation trips during his school

summer breaks. These trips allowed him to gradually absorb and

experience Australia's culture.

Upon the age of 17, he graduated from Fundy High School (equivalent HSC) in Canada in 2005, as a top member of his class,

receiving many awards for distinction in extra-curricular

activities and academics. He graduated on the Principals Merit

List for maintaining an above 90% average for his entire high

school career. One of the many awards he received enabled him

to study music at any college of his choice. This honour was

granted to him by a radio station (98.1 The Tide) who had heard Aaron guest at a

local idol competition and was so impressed they offered him a

scholarship to further his career.

Upon completion of Grade 12 in 2005, he decided to move to

Australia to live with his mother and attend college so became

an Australian resident. He was accepted at Hillsong International

Leadership College in Sydney for their Worship and Creative Arts

Program where he currently is studying in his first year.

In December 2005, he became part of the worship teams at

South Coast City Church in Thirroul, NSW. After five months of

performing on the music teams as singer, pianist and guitarist,

and having an opportunity to play and share his songs, he was

put in charge of the department while the Creative Arts Director

took a maternity leave. He currently continues weekend (and

weekly) ministry there as he attends college.

His versatility on the computer (for which he’d won high school

awards) has proven to be an asset to his music career: especially

since his move to Australia in 2005. Armed with a Roland digital

piano, a Maton guitar, a Mac computer with Logic Express, and a

Rode microphone, he has been able to write, hone and record

his own musical creations.

In his spare time, Aaron assists in his mother’s home business: Black Diamond Tailored Rods Pty Ltd, (in Black Diamond’s Media

Arts division) as a Multimedia Specialist. In this capacity he

builds and maintains websites as well as designs and edits

commercial DVDs (published in house) for which he writes all

soundtrack scores. He also self produced and edited a sample

music video of one his song collaborations with his mother.

This debut album "I Am Found" is a new step in his life journey, with inspiration from all sorts of life experience, various musical styles and passion to touch people with his music. "My music is not a genre, taste, or feel, but (hopefully) medicine for the soul".
