David Ruybalid has a passion for helping people connect or reconnect with God. He grew up in Christian circles, and like many his peers, he became skeptical of Church culture and has been on a journey of learning about following Jesus and participating in a faith community. David Ruybalid is not new to the music scene. He has been a driving force behind many studio projects and live performances. Between the years of 2001 and 2009 David spent much of his time working with bands, producers, and artists such as Jerrod Bettis (drummer/producer/writer-Adele, Gavin Degraw, OneRepublic, SNL, ect…), Gungor (Beautiful Things - Nominated for 2 grammys in 2010 and 1 grammy in 2011), and Rocker Studios (Jackson 5 Mixing and Mastering). David’s journey has taken him from Colorado Springs to Omaha, to Boulder, to the Bay Area of California, and now to the Phoenix area. Pursuing music has led him into many great discussions with many different artists and creatively minded people who see where faith and culture meet. David’s goal through music, leading in a church, and writing is to create a safe place to dialog about faith, where skepticism and doubt are welcome, along with the questions that are a result. With an E.P. Released fall of 2013, David lives in Gilbert, AZ with his wife Kellie, son James, and daughter Everly. He is producing music, writing songs, and leading worship at his church (Cornerstone) with a team called “CS Worship”. He also contributes to two blogs called www.idoubtit.online and www.theunoffendedpastors.com. He works closely with Food For The Hungry to help fight global poverty.
