Bio

David Dowlen

The debut release of David Dowlen's, Giving All My Praise is proof positive that God can work through any vessel he chooses. With a voice that is both smooth and unique and a gift of songwriting that touches the soul, David Dowlen hits the scene ready to glorify our savior.

"Music is so powerful" he says. "I draw all my power from Jesus Christ which is the true source of that power. I have always tried to write songs that were a true reflection of the things I personally struggle with or have gone through. Being able to help influence change as well as being used by God as he transforms someone's life is phenomenal."
David 's songs will definitely grab your attention. On the cd Giving All My Praise, his catchy hooks combined with his powerful lyrics will draw you in. This is a man who is definitely being used by God.
The album's title song, written as are all the other selections by David, is a beautiful praise song with a mix of lovely harmonies and melodies. "This song brings tears to my eyes," David says.

"I Need You" is an upbeat, extremely funky song with David showing his versatility by actually rapping on this single. "Consequences" has an R&B feel with a message that will make everyone, young and old stop and think. "You Get Me" is a driving song with a rock feel. David shows some of his guitar skills with a solo at the songs end. "It will definitely get you up and out your seat."

"Quality Time" is a convicting song with a smooth groove and hook. "You will be singing this one even after the radio's turned of." David says, "it's time to slow down and reconnect with God and give him some quality time."

David was born in Columbus Ohio. As a child, singing, music and dancing was always a part of his life. Unsaved until he was in his early twenties David's musical influences ranged from Stevie Wonder to Commission . " I have always just loved to sing."

David was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, without a relationship with the Lord until the age of 22. His sister Janice who passed away in 1991 would always speak to him about the Lord. "David says that he wonders if he'd even have a relationship with Christ had it not been for her prayers and preaching to him."

One of the more pleasant qualities about David is his humility. "David says that when you clearly have a God given gift, it is your responsibility to use it in it's proper respect.
A prideful or non humble attitude concerning any gift that God has given you, is a slap in the face of God I believe. My prayer is that I will always remain a humble Godly man, ready and willing to be used by him.

David also plays the guitar a little. "he says with a smile" I'm not as skilled as I'd Like to be, but I can carry a tune. David currently works in law enforcement. He joined the praise team at New Community Bible Fellowship church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio about three years ago. Being a member of our praise and worship team, I believe was a platform that God used to prepare me for such a time as this.

"If you had said a year ago that I would have a debut release of a CD and that I would be ministering my music to the body of Christ and others, I might have laughed."
Well Lord I guess you got the last laugh {smile}. Praise your holy name. My service from this point on is to help encourage and lift up others using the gifts that God has trusted to me.

I heard someone say that," the talent you have, is a gift from God. What you do with that talent, is your gift back to God!

  • This CD really made me feel the love of Jesus!
    author: Cindy Weiss

    The first song I ever heard by David Dowlen was "I Need You" and that song gripped me. But when I bought the CD and heard "Quality Time", I was overwhelmed with the message of how much Jesus loves me. David's CD has an incredible evangelistic message that is clearly straight from Jesus. I feel blessed to have been given this opportunity to hear it. It strengthened my faith.

  • Dave is Brave for his awsome songs for the Lord.
    author: Mike

    This C.D. for david dowlen will reenergize the soul in you if your lost from God. Dave is Brave with this C.D. and the makings of it. For a man, dave has a voice almost like Michael Jackson, I just love his cover, with his head and all.

  • MUST HAVE CD
    author: Reviewed by Julie Carr for ChristianMusic.com

    David Dowlen and his partner / producer on this project, composer Eric B. Jackson have put together quite an inspiring MUST HAVE CD, which so beautifully mixes and blends a variety styles of music, with lyrics and well done vocals and even rap which has the effect of encouraging the listener, whether a seeker or believer to become closer to the Lord. Whether the listener is encouraged to begin a walk with Jesus through accepting him as Lord and Savior, or a believer who is inspired to be thankful for what the Lord has personally done for his / her life, as well as reflect on areas of their own behavior which need some work, this CD will bless the listener and spur on the type of spiritual growth which can embolden and evolve one's relationship with the Lord. Through this collection of songs, David and Eric have shared personally their musical gifts, talents and what the Lord has taught them on their own spiritual journeys. One can hear it through Eric's musical compositions which so perfectly and creatively match the mood, emotion and spirit of the lyrical messages, strong, melodic, poignant vocals and excellently done rap, courtesy of David Dowlen. David Dowlen not only creates meaningful lyrics, sings / performs really well from the heart, but he is an excellent rapper in two of the songs; which is effective, clear and not over the top.

  • Giving Up All His Praise
    author: Andre Mullen - Gospelflava.com

    Many Gospel artists are moving to really discuss the day-to-day issues of the believer. Newcomer David Dowlen does this in an urban contemporary setting, inviting the listener in on a ride that can only be made smooth by the foundation of God. That's the theme evident in each song on his debut album, Giving All My Praise. Dowlen enlists the talents of producer Eric Jackson on Giving All My Praise. The anointed chemistry of Jackson’s production and Dowlen’s songwriting creates an album that will easily reach and change those who take a listen. Make no mistake; Dowlen is giving up all of his praise on an album with an anointed message for the people of God.

  • author: K Connors

    WOW! This CD really brings a whole different perspective on gospel/Contemporary/R&B music. In other words, this is not your normal run-of-the-mill CD’s. Not only is the music masterfully composed, but the lyrics take your thought processes to a whole new level. If you are like most of us, and are searching for answers to some of life’s most troubling problems, then I believe David Dowlen has got a few answers.

  • David's distinctive voice, psalmist ministry & executive production skills showc
    author: Regina K Foster for Kay3music.com

    A Review of Giving All My Praise by David Dowlen Label: Neopraze It is declared in the Word, that King David was a man after God's own heart, well along came David Dowlen to continue the legacy. Hailing from Cleveland, Oh with his freshman project, Dowden clearly desires to exhort the body of Christ to give God what He is due and encourage the lost to surrender to Him. David's distinctive voice, psalmist ministry & executive production skills showcase the gifts of God within him. This project has the quality of most major label productions and feels like one too. Notable tracks: 'Quality Time" ( a moving ballad of God speaking to His child), 'Forgiveness' (gospel/blues flava), 'I Need You & You Get Me'(urban contemporary), the mellow, yet intense,'Giving All My Praise'. David closes out this disc with an altar call, as any time of ministry that has ended should! Check out what David has to offer, for you may very well find your heart of praise joined in faith with his. Dowden has given his best to this project, but one can only think that there is still more from him to come. And we look forward to it!

    author: K Dockett - TW Magazine

    I really enjoyed the production on this particular CD. You just don't find many Christian CDs around that is this well-produced. This album is a good project to help you get into the mood of worship. This is a very solid CD especially if you enjoy well-produced CDs.

    This CD is hot! Finally, a gospel CD that holds its own against any mainstream music. I Need You is bumpin'.

  • Excellent style
    author: Kathy Mulcahy

    It is unbelievable that you are an unsigned artist. The tracks are like nothing I have heard from this genre. The music is not too "churchy" and not too secular. I absolutely love it!

    Your CD was awesome, you are truly blessed. Keep up the work man. My wife and I didn’t have a CD player in the house and after playing your CD in the car, we went out and bought one. We have truly been blessed!
