Biography
David, from boy to man
Born John David in Winterton, North Lincolnshire in 1948. I was the 4th child, 3rd son of Charles & Hilda Mary Parker. We were 3 boys and 3 girls. In my early childhood we moved around North Lincolnshire with my father working as a farm labourer, steel-erecter and eventually as an electrician’s mate on the steelworks in Scunthorpe. There I finished my schooling in 1963. After working 1 year as an apprentice butcher I went to the steelworks as a stock-taker.
Music feeds my soul
Music was always a great love of mine and I sang with a few local amateur bands until securing a job with a professional group from Hull. I toured the continent and Scandinavia from 1968-1972.
My family inspiration
In April 1972 I met my wife Monika in Hamburg and after a few months back in England, we returned to Germany. We married in January 1973. I did quite a lot of singing as a backing vocalist in and around the studios of Hamburg. I developed a vocal problem and had to take 6 months off from singing. In that time, driven by despair, I started writing songs.
My composer/producer years
RCA records heard one of my demos for an artist of theirs and so liked my voice that they offered me a recording contract. So, after thinking that my singing career was over, I actually started as a recording artist. I worked in the discothèques of Germany for a few years still writing songs and in 1978 recorded and produced a single with a 16-year-old Spanish girl and it was a hit around the world. After writing and producing many artists, I had a No.1 hit in the USA in 1984. That was the highlight of my career. I am the proud owner of platinum, gold and silver records.
Spirituality 1993
I came back to England in 1993 with Monika, our daughter Tanja and son Timothy. We (Monika & I) started spiritual healing and also joined a meditation group in East Yorkshire in 1994, which sat for physical medium-ship. Then one evening the main medium was ill and I was asked to sit in the corner and that’s when Calling Bear (a Lakota Sioux Shaman) introduced himself. Now, after many years of sitting different guides have followed suite, including Isaak a Jewish rabbi, who passed to the spirit world 2000 years ago
Brasil
In 2003 we travelled to Abadiania in Brazil to see John of God and also sat in the current room at the Casa. This was a most amazing journey.
