better known as Anthony David, is an American R&B singer-songwriter.
He is best known for his 2008 song "Words", a duet with
contemporary R&B singer India.Arie.
Anthony David was born in Savannah, Georgia, but got involved in
the music business in Atlanta.[1] There he met India.Arie, an R&B
singer from Atlanta and have since become friends. David's first
song written for Arie was entitled "Part of My Life" for
Arie's 7x Grammy nominated album Acoustic Soul. David also toured
with Arie in support of her album.

Truth. Alongside India.Arie, he opened up for her shows with songs
from his album, thereby getting more fame. Then eventually in 2006,
he released his second independent album Red Clay Chronicles, of
which also garnered attention from opening for India.Arie's shows.

and produce "There's Hope" for Arie's third studio album.[1]
His third 2008 release Acey Duecy, is a combination of both R&B
