David Archuleta says his ‘life is in the Lord’s hands’

OREM, Utah — David Archuleta’s favorite day is Sunday.
He can relax and listen to some music. He says it’s a perfect time to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
And for Archuleta, being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a plus.
“My life is in the Lord’s hands,” he says. “Even in the toughest times, I know he is there.”
Archuleta, with his angelic smile and sweet nature, was at the Deseret Book store in Orem recently to sing and sign copies of his recently released book, “Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song and the Power of Perseverance.” The “American Idol” runner-up drew a crowd of admirers as he talked — in Spanish — to the Deseret News.
At the age of 19, he composes, performs, writes and presents concerts. Some might say he is a phenomenon, not only musical, but in organizing and responding to his multiple responsibilities.
People have said that he is missing out on his youth — living as an adult, not as a young man.
But Archuleta responds emphatically, “I’m living my youth to the fullest. I’m doing what I enjoy doing. I am living my life to the fullest — if not now, then when?”
Even with his busy schedule, he says he allows time to be with his family, to talk to his friends and even to go to the movies.
He says his book came about because in all his interviews he has been asked almost the same questions about his life, and many people were curious to hear about it.
“I thought the best way to get part of my life to my fans was through a book. Show how I live, the challenges and achievements and how to overcome and how I got where I am now,” he says as he signs a book that was awaiting his autograph.

Move over, Justin Bieber, there’s another pint-sized singing sensation on the scene! David Archuleta might be short in stature but he’s certainly not short on talent. This crooning cutie rose to fame with the help of not just one but two star-making making machines: Star Search and American Idol. The Utah native claimed the title of Junior Vocal Champion at the age of 12, and while he might have only come in second to David Cook two years ago on American Idol, his success in the music industry is second to none.
Shortly after his run on American Idol, David Archuleta released his self titled debut album. The album itself went on to sell over half a million copies, while the lead single ‘Crush’ became one of the biggest hits of 2008, moving 1.8 million downloads. And late last year, he released a Christmas album which included covers of yuletide favorites like ‘Silent Night’, ‘O Holy Night’, and ‘Ave Maria’.
These days, David is hard at work in the studio working on a follow up record. The teen heartthrob is working with some of the same great writers and producers, like Emanuel ‘E-man’ Kiriakou, who helped craft his debut, but he says he wants his follow up to be a bit more grown up. According to his blog on DavidArchuleta.com, he’s taking the reigns by writing more of his material this time around as well. He told the L.A. Times earlier this year, ‘Lyrically, I just want it to sound more like me. I want people to say, ‘This is David talking.’ Instead of just interpreting.’ David obviously knows what he wants, and it sounds like a recipe for success!
A new album isn’t the only thing on the horizon for David Archuleta. He’ll soon be able to add the title author to his long list of credits when his book Chords of Strength hits shelves this June. Even though David was initially hesitant to write a memoir before his 20th birthday, he decided the book would be a great way to answer some of the questions he’s frequently asked about his life by fans. The book is slated to cover David’s rise to fame and how he overcame the odds.
It’s easy to see from his philanthropic efforts that giving back is just as important to David as his music is.
Fun facts about David
-David Archuleta was born in Miami, FL on December 28, 1990, but spent most of his childhood in Murray, Utah
-David’s fans and friends on American Idol call him ‘Archie’
-In 2005, David suffered vocal paralysis and had to undergo risky surgery on his vocal chords.
-David gets his vocal chops from his mother, Lupe, who is also a singer.
Earlier this year he was heavily involved in disaster relief efforts for Haiti; the singer donated his time to the NBC Hope for Haiti telethon, funds to Plane to Haiti, and lent his voice to the Spanish language We Are the World remake. Even more recently, he’s teamed up with DoSomething.org to help other teens who have been affected by natural disasters. Gotta love a star who’s heart is as big as his talent!
With a gorgeous voice, a knack for songwriting, and a heart for helping people, it’s easy to see why David Archuleta has held on to his American Idol fanbase well after his run on the show and picked up new fans along the way. Keep an eye out for this book this summer, and his next single, which is due to impact radio later this year.
