David Meece (born May 26, 1952) is a contemporary Christian musician who enjoyed success in the mid 80s throughout the 90s with thirty singles reaching top 10 positions on CCM radio. He grew up in Humble, Texas, where music was a refuge from his abusive, alcoholic father. While still in high school, he was touring in Europe and the USA. He began formal music education at the Peabody Conservatory of Music where he met his wife, Debbie. (She has played viola on some of David’s releases such as ONCE IN A LIFETIME).
Meece often incorporates classical piano works into his songs. “This Time” (from LEARNING TO TRUST) borrows its opening section, bridge and ending tag from Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (Op. 10, No. 12) in C minor. Similarly, the introductory melody for “You Can Go” (from the album 7) is taken from Bach’s Two-Part Invention No. 13 in A Minor (BWV 784) and “Falling Down” (from COUNT THE COST) has its basis in a sonata by Mozart.
His song “We Are the Reason” has been recorded by over 200 other artists and CHRONOLOGY’s “Seventy-Times-Seven” peaked at No. 77 in Australia’s Top 100 chart. David worked with Canadian Juno Award winner Gino Vannelli for his albums CHRONOLOGY and CANDLE IN THE RAIN.
David and his wife currently live in Franklin, Tennessee. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
