With a United (Methodist) Church minister for a father, David grew up with his roots grounded in a solid Christian family. Music always played an important part in the Bauman family, especially from his father's side. At age 15, he began song writing which led to traveling with a local gospel group called, "Sons of Praise." Four years later he left the group and started his solo career.
Releasing his first of many recordings at age 18, became the ultimate motivational factor for his career as a songwriter and recording artist.
He began studying the piano at age 5 through the Royal Conservatory of Toronto, and in college started 5 years of vocal training with some of the best vocal instructors in both Canada and the U.S.
Much of his song writing is inspired through both his personal life's experiences and close family and friends.
Currently, he is one of the artists who proudly represent "Food for the Hungry," a child sponsorship program based out of both the U.S. and Canada..
Being a hockey fan one of his joys was being asked to do the National Anthem for the Dallas Stars.
As an actor he has made appearances on such films and television programs as Walker Texas Ranger, The Riff, and Servicing Sara.
His performances have taken him to over 14 different countries; including appearances on numerous television programs around the world both locally and nationally. He has had the privilege of meeting with and performing before government officials in some of these countries. David also hosted a weekly radio program in the U.S. entitled, "It's Happening."
For five consecutive years he was nominated as "Top Canadian Contemporary Soloist" at the Covenant Awards.
His focus is presenting a positive message to his audience when it comes to the reality of life.
