David Pulley Releases “Bow To You”
David Pulley had a gift for songwriting long before the world knew. Growing up in a family of 11 siblings, music became an outlet for him. David was exposed to the Gospel greats, including the works of Andrae Crouch, Walter Hawkins, Richard Smallwood, and Percy Bady. Beginning at an early age, David wrote poetry that he used as a base to construct his song. Sensing a need to encourage his passions, his mother sent him and his sister to music lessons.
David initially took to playing drums while his sister started playing piano, and he soon started copying what he heard his sister playing during her piano lessons. The instructor noticed this and informed his mother of his substantial progress. David graduated from his original drum lessons and started instruction on the Hammond organ. He excelled at the organ and
quickly elevated to teacher's assistant, working with new students. He began playing for his home church at the age of 12.
David's instructor sought to further David and asked his mom if she could take him under her wing and mentor him as a church musician at a very large church on Chicago's Southside- his mother readily agreed.
It was during this time that David started developing his songwriting ability. David practiced many of his compositions, first teaching them to the youth choir at his home church without informing them that he had written them. His early works were
sung in churches, and they were well received. Committed to studying and enhancing his gift, he traveled across the country, gaining knowledge from the workshops and seminars offered by Ron Winans, Michael Brooks, John P Kee, and the Gospel Music Workshop of America.
After forty years of service as a church musician, David decided to present and releases his inaugural single '1 Remember You' (2022). With over 100 songs in his arsenal, he wanted his first release to hold a special sentiment. David released I Remember You as a tribute to his mother, who passed away in 2012. The single is featured by BJ McKenzie David also presents another single, Bow To You', which he "wrote as a prayer for God to rescue us in these perilous times. It is to let Him know that through it all we know that He is yet sovereign, and we will continue to worship Him as such" David shares. The song is beautifully performed by the lead singer, Tysings, and The Epoch House Choir from Nigeria. Pleased with his musical journey thus far, David knows something greater is in store in the days and years ahead. IJN
