Hes only 19 years old, but David Archuleta is an American Idol runner-up, a multi-platinum artist, and now he adds author to his list of accomplishments. One week ago, David released his first book: Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, and The Power of Perseverance.
In Chords of Strength, the Season 7 star shares his unexpected and inspiring journey, including how he overcame vocal cord paralysis to achieve his dream of being a singer. He reveals insecurities he felt about his voice-before he realized that he loved the way singing made him feel more than he disliked the way he sounded. In this personal memoir, David opens up about the strength he draws from his unshakable faith and unyielding family. He pays tribute to those who continue to inspire him and through their example help him believe in himself, his talent, and his abilities.
In an interview with one local Fox news station, David said, What came from [American Idol] is pretty amazing. Im glad I went through all of it. In his book, David talks a lot his Idol experience including knowing that he wanted to sing but not knowing if he wanted to compete. He proved that you dont have to be a competitive person to make it far on the show.
David posted a vlog on the day of his book release saying, Its been quite an experience getting it together, but Im just so happy that its all worked out and that everything is coming together. He also had kind things to say in the vlog post about Lee DeWyzeread more
