David James Archuleta (born December 28, 1990) is an American pop singer. At ten years old, he won the children's division of the Utah Talent Competition, leading to other television singing appearances.[5] When he was twelve years old, he became the Junior Vocal Champion on the second season of Star Search, known as "Star Search 2".[5] In 2008, he finished second on the seventh season of American Idol.[6]
In August 2008, he released "Crush", the first single from his self-titled debut album.[5][7][8][9] The album, released three months later, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart; it has sold over 750,000 copies in the United States and over 900,000 worldwide.[10][11][12]
In October 2010, he released a third album, The Other Side of Down, featuring the lead single "Something 'Bout Love". In March 2012, he went on hiatus for two years to be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Chile, but stated that he would continue his music career afterwards.[13][14] As of February 2012, he had sold 1,108,000 albums and 3,327,000 tracks in the United States.[15] Archuleta and his mother have both since left the LDS Church.[16][17]
In March 2012, he released his fourth album, "Forevermore", exclusively in the Philippines. This was his first Original Filipino Music (OPM) album, composed of several covers of Filipino songs. The album was certified gold in the Philippines (10,000 units) as of June 2012.[18]
His fifth album, Begin, was released in August 2012. A compilation album, No Matter How Far, was released in March 2013.[19] His sixth studio album, Postcards in the Sky, was released in October 2017[20] and his second holiday album, Winter in the Air, was released in 2018.[21] His eighth studio album, Therapy Sessions, was released in May 2020.[22]
In 2023, Archuleta competed in the ninth season of The Masked Singer as "Macaw" and finished in second place.
