When David was sixteen years old, they convinced him to leave his summer job in a local park to fly to San Diego, California, and audition for American Idol. Although he d always wanted to make a career in music, he never dreamed he would make it to the Top Ten, let alone be voted the runner-up for Season 7. For David, who was an average teenager from Murray, Utah, being an American Idol contestant was just the start of a series of amazing firsts. His music and performing career has taken off with a hit single and CD, national and international solo tours, and television appearances on hit shows such as iCarly and Hannah Montana.
