David Dunn - Yellow Balloons (2017)

David Dunn is a Christian singer/songwriter raised in Texas and based in Nashville. While studying engineering at Texas Tech University, he performed in churches and coffeehouses, and released a self-titled EP in 2009. After graduation, he spent a challenging 13 months in Africa on a humanitarian trip that made it clear to Dunn that he must pursue his music. In 2012, he appeared on the second season of the NBC talent search show The Voice, and recorded the EPs For the Life of Me and This Is Christmas. Dunn signed with BEC, making his label debut with 2014's Crystal Clear EP; his first full-length, also titled Crystal Clear, arrived the following year and featured the single "Today Is Beautiful." In 2016, "I Wanna Go Back" offered the first taste of Dunn's second album, Yellow Balloons, a set of songs inspired by childhood, heaven, and the death of his niece that BEC released in early 2017. ~ Heather Phares.
