Meet the Archuleta Family
David's dad is Jeff, and he was born and raised in Utah. His moms name is Lupe and she emigrated from Honduras from her hometown of San Pedro Sula, Cortes.
Daddy Jeff Archuleta is a jazz trumpet player and his mom (both age 42) sings pop music in both English and Spanish.
Jeff and Lupe's children consist of 3 girls and 2 boys with David being the 2nd oldest. Listed in order from eldest to youngest: Claudia (18 ), David (17), Daniel (14), Jazzy (11), and Amber (9).
Background and Song List in his appearance on Star Search:
When David started on Star Search, he already started showing symptoms of bronchitis, which would later lead to his vocal paralysis when he reached the age of 13 and 14. One of his vocal chords was paralyzed and underdeveloped. The doctors said he can have surgery, but it was very risky. He didnt want to take the risk because he wanted to sing. He was actually supposed to record a CD after Star Search because of his big success there, but wasnt able to due to his vocal paralysis.
David once performed on the Jenny Jones show. He sang And I Am Telling You by Jennifer Holliday.
Preliminary Round - Whos Lovin You by The Temptations

At the age of 10, he participated in the Utah Talent Competition, his first ever competition wherein he sang I Will Always Love You, his first ever song sung on stage, receiving a standing ovation.
At the age of six, he memorized a number of songs from the Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert with the corresponding English and Cockney accents.

David: (when asked what he would change about himself) I wouldnt change anything. Even the minor things or problems are what influence who I am. David: Its fun to see the support that you get from your school and all your family, and friends, and stuff. Its really neat to see, you know, if they didnt know, so you cant tell them, so theyre all like freaking out when they even found out I auditioned, cause I didnt even tell them, and theyre all just like, Why didnt you tell us?!, you know theyre all mad at me. Thats okay, cause I think they wont mind since they especially saw me on the show, when they were always like, You should be on that show!.
David Archuleta: (about preparing for a performance) Before singing, I usually just kinda warm up, you know, just do a couple a verbal exercises, and say a prayer too. Thats really helpful.
David: Im half-Honduran, and got to go to Honduras a few years ago with my family and see my moms side of the family. I also sang at Carnaval there, a parade like Mardi Gras. Its also where my most embarrassing moment was.
David: (about American Idol) Ive definitely feel like there are things that can happen this year. And the show just opened so many doors for me and even if its not winning American Idol, you know thats what Im hoping for, but even more just hoping that I will be able to make a career.
David: (about American Idol) The greatest thing that could come out of this is to launch my singing career. You know, being able to sing and become successful has always been my dream.
David: Ive had friends from California and stuff, and when they come to Utah, there like, Its so freaky there, everyones so nice and theyll say hi to you, even though they dont know who you are, and its like Yeah, people there are friendly. Its really cool.
David: The best thing you can do to set yourself apart is just be yourself. If youre fake, you know people find out who you are later, its like Well thats not who we thought you were. Being yourself is where you feel most comfortable and people get, you know, they feel that connection the best. Thats the best way to go. You always have to be yourself.
David: (about song choices) Its always fun to take risks too with song choices and stuff, I usually try to pick a song that suits me. Ill think it through my head, its like, Ok, well, does this song fit me? Or you know, sometimes Ill want to take a risk with the song, you know its a little different but I wanna show what I can do with it and you know, if I really like the song and it doesnt match me, Ill still maybe wanna try to make it my own and give it a shot.
David: (about singing songs) If you dont connect with a song, then I dont see the point in singing it, but, you know, it at least has to be a fun song to sing and if its fun to get into it too and its a lot of fun to sing.
David: You know, I like to smile a lot, like to hang out with my friends and you know, just like to do the normal things teenagers do, you know. I am normal, believe it or not, well I guess I have to second guess that. I guess I am pretty weird, but I am a teenager. I like to do the normal, every day things
David: (about whether its intimdating being on American Idol) I havent really thought about the other singers, you know, Ive been more like Ok, what am I going to be doing you know. Cuz you have to think about how youre going to present yourself and want people, wanna show your stuff and who you are. And if you really worry about the other people, its like, well, you know, takes away who you are, you know showing your stuff and being yourself.
David (about American Idol): This is such a big opportunity for us, you know. American Idol has made tons of dreams come true and to be able to have this opportunity finally is just awesome, you know. Were all just hoping that something will come out of this for our music and performing careers and to have this chance now, its really cool.
David: You know, Ive always doubted myself about my talent. I always thought everyone was kinda tone-deaf, and theyre just trying to be nice to me coz Im little.
David: I was to sing at this charity event dinner thing and I lost my voice that night and in the middle of the song I just, I was struggling so bad and I just completely lost it and my mom came up and ran up and just grabbed the mike from me and finished the song for me and I was just like, I want to die. I was so glad my mom was there, if she wasnt there I would have probably just ran away cuz that was just, I just felt horrible about that.
David: The grossest thing Ive ever eaten was this one fish soup my grandma made and I thought it was just disgusting. I couldnt keep it down first of all and it was just nasty and I dont remember anything good about it. It might have been healthy, but its not worth that.
David: The only job I ever had was over the summer when I was at Techiat Park Amphitheatre. That was a lot of fun just cuz you got to control the sounds. I got to work with some of my good friends, which was a lot of fun.
David: My family has helped me with personally my dream by just always being there all the time, supporting me like all the way and just being good sports about it and I really appreciate that.
David: Something that surprises a lot of people is usually the music I listen to just because its so diverse and it would be like Hispanic music from my mom, you know I grew up listening to Hispanic music on my moms side and then my dad listened to Jazz music and so I grew up with that and I just love Gospel music and you know, mostly I listen to Pop, and like Pop-Rock, but soulful music cuz its just one of my favorites as well.
David: Im not really sure which American Idol contestant I would be compared to. I really liked how Elliott Yamin had a more soulful vibe to him and I can remember you know, like hed sing He sang I Dont Wanna Be by Gavin DeGraw and he just gave a lot of soul into that, I just thought that was really cool. And thats the kind of stuff Id like to do you know. You know the pop music with a little soul into it, kinda like John Mayer, you know hes awesome.
David: One of my favorite performers is Michael Jackson just because you know, hes like the king of performing, hes amazing to watch and he has amazing songs, hes awesome.
David: I wanna be the next American Idol because I just been loving music for so long. Its been-musics pretty much my life and just the power thats in music, it can do so much like it can change It can change how I feel and just how everyone Im singing to feels and how everyone just appreciates the music and stuff and uhmmm being able to do that as a career is just a dream of mine and American Idol is the best opportunity for that to happen.
David: If I dont become the next American Idol, Im going to keep on singing cuz you know, thats why Im here, I love to do it and I still wanna finish school cuz you know, thats pretty dang important, especially if this music stuff doesnt work out.
David: When I found out that I made it to the top 24 it was just one of the best feelings I had ever had. It was like I was hired or something. It was just awesome because I just always wanted to be able to make it this far in the competition and now that I finally am able to, its just an awesome feeling.
David: (when asked what other talents he has): Ive taken a little piano and have written a few songs.
David: (when asked when he started to sing): Around the age of 7, and really started performing in front of people at 10.

Life after the Finale has been pretty crazy. I had a couple days off and then we went to New York and did a bunch of press and interviews there, and it was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of you guys out there too. It was really neat to see all the signs and the--all the fans out there: Archies, Arch Angels--and that was really fun to see, and I just wanna thank you guys for coming out, it made it really exciting. Then after New York I got to go home for a week, and that was just great. Just to see all my family and spend some time with them, and to see my friends and we hung out a bunch [chuckles].
Well we're here a couple weeks before the Tour starts, and so we're starting all the rehearsals and getting back together. Fun to see everyone and catch up, see how their breaks have been. And now we're just rehearsing, and it's... fun [giggle]. It's really exciting, I mean, it's something I've never done before with all the touring stuff... all the cities we're going to. I mean, I can't believe how many we're going to and how long it's gonna be. I just can't wait, I mean all these cities I've never been to. It's gonna be fun to kinda sightsee and see everything and then [Archie swallows quite loudly, haha.] the performing part of it. You know, we're not competing against each other anymore, it's just all for fun, it's something we've all been looking forward to. It'll be fun to see the meet and greets, and see what the cities are like--it'll just be a lot of fun with that. Going to Canada for one show--that's pretty exciting, I've never been there (WHAT?! Oh, Archie, you have to visit us here now! Preferably here in VANCOUVER, since the darn Tour is going to Toronto but NOO, not here!
Well that's it! My first video blog, I hope you guys enjoyed watching it. There'll be more to come over the summer, and more things to talk about. I... hope I didn't do too bad of a job, but thanks so much you guys for watching and all for your support again. I just really appreciate that. You don't--I don't think people realize how much that kind of stuff means to us. All of us, you know--me, Cook and everyone else. We really appreciate it and just wanna thank you guys so much again. So, take care you guys, hope to see you there on Tour, and just keep you guys updated on what's going on. So, [waves to the camera] see ya, take care! [giggle]
Vlog 1.5
I wanna thank everyone for sending questions to my MySpace and want to get to know me. I appreciate that because some people just assume things, so hopefully these questions will straighten some things out, and I picked a few.
The first one here is from Lisa. And she asked, "Do you have any pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?"
I have a dog, it's a poodle and his name's Teddy. He's a fun dog, I guess. He doesn't do too much [giggles] but he knows how to shake and dance a little bit. And then I have a gold fish and its name -- I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Who knows. If you know how to tell, let me know. That'd be kinda nice to know, I guess. But its name is Conditioner and uh, that's kind of a long story why that works out. But, yeah, its name is Conditioner, it's about the size of my hand. It's healthy. It was nice to go back home and kinda take care of both of them [giggles then clears throat]. Pets are cool (Yes they are, David! I want a dog! sad.gif). I actually want more. I used to have cats, but I had to move and couldn't keep 'em 'cause my dad's allergic. So that was pretty sad but, you know, I love animals; can't wait to get more when I grow up.
The next question here is from Dolly. And she said, "Hi David. So we know your lovely mom is from Honduras," thanks, I think she's lovely, too, "I was just wondering if you speak Spanish."
I speak a little bit of Spanish. I wish I spoke more. It was actually my first language when I was little. But then I didn't really speak too much English to people who didn't speak Spanish, so I learned English and I guess it just didn't work out. I guess my parents kinda forgot to keep the Spanish going along with the English, so I kinda forgot quite a bit. Which is sad 'cause my whole mom's side of the family speaks Spanish. Some of them don't speak English, so the only way I can talk to them is Spanish [giggles]. But, you know, I love that culture. My mom has been great listening to that part of the music side and food. It's just great culture. I love it.
This question's from babyface04/lee(?) and they asked, "Do you work out or lift weights?" [giggles]
I... you know, I used to. I mean, I've gotten pretty flabby (HA! Yeah right, David! Flabby... PSHH!) [looks at arm] while I've been here. I haven't really had time to work out. It's kinda sad. I used to actually do cross-country but I quit because I came here. This takes a lot of your time out, and I didn't really know how long I'd be out here, and you know, made it to the Finale which is really great. I actually wanna start running again--doing push-ups and sit-ups--that's what I used to do. But... just haven't really had time. I think I'll find some time to do it now. 'Cause I love to run--it's just great. You just feel so refreshed from getting a good work out and run.

See ya, take care!
Vlog 2.0
I wanna thank everyone for sending questions to my MySpace and want to get to know me. I appreciate that because some people just assume things. So, hopefully these questions will straighten some things out and I picked a few.
Question I have is from Bev and she asked, "Are you a runner?"
Yes, I am a runner. At least, I used to. I want to keep being a runner. Because it feels so great! I guess the endorphins (I finally figured out that he said 'endorphins'... took me hours, I was so bugged about it xD) or something. I just love it. I used to go before school. I'd wake up at like, 4:45 and just go for a run. I guess it'd be kinda dangerous but, uh [giggles]. Anyway, she also said, "If so, please tell us more about your running. You have a lot of fans who are runners and we feel connected to you in that sense," That's awesome, "And have you ever done long-distance runs?" The most I did with cross country in school was just the 5k. I always wanted to do other ones but with singing, I guess it just took most of my time. So I didn't really have any more time to concentrate on any more running. But running's definitely something I love to do. It's like a good stress-reliever, too. I just--ah! It's so nice, refreshing. Especially when I go with my friends, we all have a good time.
The next question here is from Becka(?) and she asked, "How did you do school when you were on Idol? Did you do online school or something for 3 hours and did you ever get homework at school if it was online?"
I did school online and it was called EHS and I actually moved to the American Academy. You sign up for classes online. It was really convinient because being away from school, you don't know what's going on and you don't have the teacher there to tell you, even though I had a studio teacher there with me. So, what we did for classes we'd--you know, they give you websites with the information you need to know and they have little quizzes and tests and worksheets you get to do. So it was pretty nice.
The next question is from [does quotation mark with hands] &kelly--she has a little 'and' sign before her name--she asked, "Does it bother you when people call you Archie?"
It's pretty weird when people who already know call me Archie, but people like Cook, Syesha and them, and people who work on the show who need to distinguish between the two Davids... I didn't even notice, really. But when it's someone I know--one of my friends--if they call me Archie, it's like, "Woah. Why are you calling me Archie?" [giggles] I guess it's just all a matter of how things started. With my friends they call me David, 'cause I'm the David they know. But with everyone else, Archie doesn't really bug me too much. I know they're talking about me, because usually it's like, "David!" "Which one?" That was always the kind of joke between me and Cook. It doesn't bug me too much. You can call me Archie if you want [adorably smiles].
Well I answered a few questions here for you guys, but now it's kinda my turn here. I just want to ask you guys what you guys are doing for the summer just so I can get to know you guys. I mean, you're my fans, I wanna get to know you guys a little bit. Let me know what you guys are up to. If you're going to the Tour, that's awesome, let me know about it. If you have family vacations... it's kinda fun to know about it. Let me know about it. You just send a comment; e-mails are a little more difficult to keep track with, especially with all the stuff going on. Just leave some comments on my MySpace--that's a great and easy, quick way to do it so let me know, I'm excited to hear what you guys have to say.

David Archuleta Signs to 19 Recordings/Jive Records
Thursday June 5, 12:06 pm ET
Archuleta Gears Up For American Idol Tour
NEW YORK, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- It was announced this date that American Idol sensation David Archuleta has signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records. Archuleta is currently gearing up for the upcoming American Idol tour which kicks off on July 1st in Glendale, AZ. The 17-year old is expected to release his debut album later this year.
"Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true," states Archuleta. "Being a fan of American Idol since season one and admiring the alumni, I am honored and humbled to be a part of that group. I'm really excited to start working on everything."
David Archuleta, the runner-up on the current season of "American Idol," has three songs entering the Hot 100 this week, starting with his stunning remake of John Lennon's "Imagine" at No. 36, along with his highly-praised rendition of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," and his finale song, "In This Moment."
Simon Fuller, creator of the popular TV series and chief executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, states, "It was fascinating to watch David's journey through Idol. He is a genuine pop star, and is a gifted singer who instantly won over a huge audience when he first appeared on the show. Since then, he has dealt with the pressure and the high level of expectation with real fortitude; he's given us some of the best performances of the season. Without question David Archuleta has a great future ahead of him".
Tom Carrabba, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Jive/Zomba Label Group comments, "David Archuleta has already shown the world that he is a star. He's a young, talented singer with wide appeal and we're thrilled to have him join our roster."
David Archuleta is from Murray, Utah, a town outside Salt Lake City. He recently came to national attention and captured the hearts and imagination of a nation with several show-stopping performances on "American Idol."
:flower: [highlight]BILLBOARD CHART: CRUSH - DAVID ARCHULETA[/highlight] :flower:
How the Billboard charts work:
The goal, of course, is to rocket David Archuletas Crush to the #1 position on the Billboard charts and on iTunes charts as well. Billboard uses a system called Nielsen Soundscan to track sales (yes, including digital sales made at website such as iTunes); Billboard also uses Broadcast Data Systems to track radio airplay. In fact, a song can chart on Billboard before it is commercially released, based on airplay alone. So requesting that Crush be added to playlists and played on radio stations is pretty dang important, even before its released as a single. (See #3 below.)
So how do we make Crush a #1 hit? Read the list!
1. Buy his single! (Starting September 2nd? Thats our best guess.) DONT DOWNLOAD ILLEGALLY! DONT BE SATISFIED WITH AN MP3 RIPPED FROM THE Z100 BROADCAST THIS FRIDAY. Those actions will only hurt Davids career. You will be able to purchase his single digitally from iTunes, Amazon, Wal-mart, Rhapsody, and Napster, as well as other outlets. If you are interested in a physical CD single (not many of those around any more), check your local stores to see if it is available in that format. Buying digital is just fine for singles. Make sure to leave feedback wherever you buy!
2. Gifting! There is a Gifting Campaign for David Archuletas upcoming single and album. The intent of this campaign is to make sure all of Davids fans receive the single and the album legally so that David will benefit from royalties as well as sales figures. Free downloads do not count towards his commercial success, and we all want him to do well, right?! We need donors and recipients for this campaign. For more information on this campaign.
3. Call radio stations to request his single be played. There is an art to this. According to this thread on IDF, contacting the Program Director before the single comes out and requesting the song to be added to the playlist is a good first step! (The program directors create the playlists, not the DJs). Then call the DJs and request the song to be played, but DONT call over and over again! One call or email per day is enough. You dont want to annoy them, or there may be backlash reminiscent of the Clay Aiken days, when fans were so annoying that DJs started a movement to NOT play Clays music. Be nice; not nasty and obsessive, or you may hurt the cause. You dont want David to be known as the artist with crazy, obnoxious fans. Dont call or email radio stations that are not in your listening area, unless they have live streaming audio online. And finally, access Radio & Records to track how much his song is getting played: the more it gets played, the more it moves up the charts. A few years ago, Elliot Yamins fans created a wonderful thread discussing how to call radio stations (and how to locate radio stations); its definitely worth a look: click here. Remember that his single may be eligible to be added to radio playlists as soon as next Monday, so after it premieres Friday, start calling your radio station program manager and ask him/her to add the song as soon as they can!
4. Contact MTV and VH1 to request the video! I believe I just heard the liquidy sound of thousands of fangirls melting into puddles on the floor: yes, there will most likely be a VIDEO! Okay, take a deep breath go to MTVs TRL and VH1s Top 20 Video Countdown to vote for Davids video as soon as it is available.
5. Visit David Archuletas MySpace and leave a comment about how much you love his new song! Remember, his MySpace is administered by his label, so your feedback is important. You must be added as a friend to leave a comment. He also has a Facebook account now! Join there if you wish! And his official website is being launched as we speak, so choose your website and make yourself heard!
6. View his official video on YouTube and leave a comment.Artists videos always end up on YouTube; find whatever version has the most views and leave a positive comment.
7. Word of mouth: tell everyone you know about Davids new song! Play it in public! Encourage people to buy it. Gift it.
8. Write letters to TV shows and magazines requesting that David be interviewed and perform his new song: Ellen, Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, and the list goes on and on!
*David is signed to a major record label and they will be heavily promoting him, but we can all do our part.
TEAM ARCHIE
Note: The release of Archie's first single is finally nearing us, and to help boost this sales, there's no better way than to buy his singles. In the spirit of generosity and in response to our call as being Arch Angels, it is an undeniable opportunity to share his music with the rest of the world, thru gifting the single to those international fans unable to purchase them.
Itunes Gifting
Most international fans don't have access to itunes, and that sucks big time because it deprives them of the opportunity to enjoy Archie.
Are you stuck in the land of no-itunes-store? Or are you too young to grab hold of a credit card to purchase? Fortunately, several kind-hearted people have expressed their willingness to gift or donate Archie's studio recordings. Remember that INTERNATIONAL FANS are prioritized, but don't be afraid to request even if you're not.
However, it would be highly appreciated if you're also willing to join the generous group aka gifters. If you're a minor, be sure you have your folks' permission or that you won't get scolded by donating.
Disclaimer: To those whose requests weren't attended to by the gifters in the previous "During Idol" Itunes Gifting thread, I apologize! The list WAS sent to the gifters, but perhaps due to unforeseen events, the gifting to some didn't push thru especially when Itunes started taking down his finale recordings.
For tracking, updates will be posted here.

B]Entertainment Tonight[/B]
We heard something David-related would be on Thursday Sept 11 - possibly about the Crush shoot since ET was there - but they did not show the David stuff. However, they showed some Osmond stuff listed for Friday Sept 12. So maybe the David stuff will be on September 12.
MTV TRL
Rumors the videos will be released on MTV TRL maybe on Sept 15 - and David may be there for the release. MTV's TRL show is on 3:30PM ET/PT and possibly also at 9:30AM. The content for next week will be listed here: MTV.com
AIRPLAY and STREAMING and SALES
Being #2 on the Hot 100 was a 1-week thing - that chart starts from ZERO each week. And we need to get Crush up the continuous charts like Top 40 and Pop 100 where the top songs have often sold over 1 million copies. So a good goal is for Crush to sell over a million copies too and get frequent airplay on lots of stations.
Crush needs streaming because it's a percentage of some chart scores. And it need lots of airplay - not only does airplay count towards some charts, but it exposes more people to Crush. Crush needs a lot more airplay and exposure as it is released to more stations so more people will hear it and buy it.
+ Vote for Crush here at XM Satellite radio every 5 minutes - super easy - select David Archuleta Crush in the list, and below the list press Vote. They play the top 20 requests there nationally 3-4 times per day.
XM Satellite RADIO
+ Request Crush at Disney Radio several times per day. NOTE - it is NOT that "#1 Crush" song listed at the top. Scroll down to David Archuleta - Crush and pick that, then submit the request below with name and age.
RADIO DISNEY
Request Crush on your local stations. This is very important. If you do not know your local stations, you can look them up here. Pick US, Canadian, or International. For US, enter your zip to find stations within listening distance - they may even be in another state. Their genres are shown. Click on the names of suitable stations to visit their websites - check for ways there to request Crush.
RADIO LOCATOR
Also - stream Crush at AOL music (works with Internet Explorer). Streaming counts for 5% of the Billboard Hot 100 score. At this link, scroll down to "Latest" and click the word Crush. Wait for the popup player to open and load Crush. Then click on the word Crush on the initial page a bunch of times. Supposedly each click counts as a streaming. When the player popup catches up and loads all of the Crushes, you can select the white part of the first in the playlist and playing will start from there.
AOL MUSIC
BUYING AND GIFTING
Buying and gifting are important. You can buy at Itunes, Amazon, or Napster. I'm sure you know people you can gift Crush to. But don't buy an unreasonable number, and when possible gift directly where you buy. If you buy at Amazon, there are two copies of Crush up there - the "Main Version" is the easiest to buy (no downloader needed and you can save the MP3 right to your computer):
AMAZON
If you are unable to buy Crush yourself (foreign country or you do not have credit/Paypal) and you would like to be gifted with a legal copy, OR if you wish to donate to the Crush/Album gifting project, please go here!
TEAM ARCHIE
And for any fan of David who has not bought Crush yet, and anyone who steals their music off the web instead of buying it - anyone who thinks it's uncool to actually buy music - if you love Archie you will buy the MP3. Come on, it's 99 cents - think about how much joy has Archie given you. Crush needs more sales. If you don't understand how to buy it, the Amazon Crush (Main Version) is easiest and Amazon is a trustworthy company (one of the few that has my credit card number). All you need to play the Amazon one (linked above) is any computer or MP3 player - no Itunes or Ipod. If you need help, just ask on any Archie forum.
HEY NIELSEN!
I found out what happened to David's Hey Nielsen rating (re dropping from over 600 to 42) - it was the Sept. 5 scoring change.
"The score now tops out at 100 with topics gaining points based on fan feedback from opinions. Other input makes up the score as well, including Nielsens weekly broadcast and cable tv ratings (yes we track TiVO and DVR), box office results, and blog chatter as tracked by Nielsen Online. But, the majority of the score is generated by things like your commentary and input to the RATE IT button for each topic.[...]..We can tell you that actually reaching 100 points would require that topic to have the most fan activity, a perfect average user rating of 5.0 and be the most talked about thing on the web and have the number one record, tv show, or movie that week so dont feel bad if your favorites are hovering around the 23.45 mark. Its all relative."
NOTE:
When the Crush video when it comes out, I do recommend Itunes - it is a large but free download for PC or Mac. Itunes videos are super - the Itunes program can play them pn our computer and they look better than my TV and about 100x better than YouTubes

David Archuleta is a contestant on American Idol. He has been called The Soul man from Utah, the Soul Midget King, Mini Motown Monster and a singing prodigy. Davids natural soulful voice has captivated America through his performances on Jenny Jones and most recently as the junior singer grand prize winner of Star Search 2. David Archuleta was born in Miami, Florida on December 28th 1990 and spent the first six years of his life in various cities in florida. In February of 1997, David and his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where he lives with his parents, his brother and 3 sisters and 2 cats. He comes from a musical family where his mother sings both Spanish and English pop music, and his dad is a jazz trumpet player. David began singing at the age of 6 when he memorized several songs from the Les Miserables 10th anniversary concert, complete with English and Cockney accents. When he was 10 he participated in the Utah Talent Competition and although VERY reluctant to go perform in public, and feeling extremely nervous, he went onstage and sang I Will Always Love You and received a standing ovation. He has since been featured on Janny Jones, and the last several months have included performing 3 times on Star Search, being seen on CBS The Early Show.
