Music has always been an essential part of his life. Both his mother and father have immense talent in music ranging from vocal, vocal harmony, and instrument play. He managed to get his mother’s power while inheriting his father’s soothing mannerisms as a vocalist. His father is also a magnificent steel guitarist, thus, explaining the talent of David's instrumental play. David's father is also an astonishing writer.

During David's collegiate years, he was a four-year letter winner as a middle linebacker for the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Javelina football team. David received his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in May of 2006 and received his Master’s Degree of Science in December of 2007 from Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

"All of my writing comes from personal experiences. Having a reason to write is the core of creating of a great song. It’s not just the lyrics and chords, but how the song is presented to the listener and how it can relate to their personal experiences. I never could just ‘write to write’; it had to be a feeling or a notion of some sort. I do not know if that is a positive or a negative in the songwriters’ creed, but personally it has worked in my favor thus far." -David Grace
