Growing up in Detroit in the 60's when the streets sang and flourished with the sound of Motown and all of its artists, the Soul of Aretha Franklin and Jackie Wilson, and many Gospel artists proved to be the training camp of life for David Isaac. David became involved in the music industry as a young musician as Detroit evolved into the place for Funk bands in the 70\u2019s from the likes of Parliament/Funkadelic (which he briefly worked with) or Rock from Bob Segar, he became an Engineer and Programmer as it became the home of R&B, Techno, and Gospel from artists like Anita Baker, DeBarge, The Winans, or Juan Atkins in the 80\u2019s (all which he worked with), then he became a Producer in the 90\u2019s as Hip-Hop and Rap made its mark in Detroit from such artists as Eminem, and J. Dilla, all which explains the energy int the environment of Detroit. After working with artists like Parliament/Funkadelic, R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, El Debarge, Aaliyah, KEM, Aretha Franklin, Barry White, The Clark Sisters, Thomas Whitfield, Fred Hammond, Anita Baker and more, David decided (with the influence from top musicians and engineers) to make the move to Los Angeles, California. There he worked with such artists as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Puff Daddy, Babyface, Billy Idol, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, Toni Braxton, and more within his first eight months in L.A.! David met and began to work with Bass Legend and Producer, Marcus Miller, and from there he used all of his talents with such artists as Luther Vandross, Eric Clapton, Wayne Shorter, David Sanborn, and Roberta Flack, to films such as \u201cI Think I Love My Wife\u201d, \u201cHead Of State\u201d, \u201cLove Jones\u201d, \u201cThe 6th Man\u201d, \u201cServing Sara\u201d and more, to television\u2019s \u201cEverybody Hates Chris\u201d, to producing the Funk ride at the opening of Seattle\u2019s \u201cExperience Music Project\u201d. So far, David has earned three Grammy Awards and many nominations. You can hear some of his work on Chris Rock\u2019s latest movie,\u201cGood Hair\u201d. He is also wrapping up his own forthcoming R&B/Funk CD with the help of a many R&B legends, like Patrice Rushen, Marcus Miller, Nathan Leftenant from Cameo, and James \u201cD-Train\u201d Williams.
