One of nine children, he spent much of his early childhood with his grandmother, a spiritual Baptist, growing up near a pan yard and a Shango yard, in a neighbourhood where boys dreamed of being entertainers. He has been baptized three times: as a Baptist by his grandmother, as an Anglican by his mother and as a Catholic when he started school. It was at school that he discovered how much art, painting and sculpture really interested him. Rudder began singing at the age of 11 with a group called The Solutions. In 1977, he joined the brass band Charlie's Roots and began charting his musical career.
David became an apprentice to the late Ken Morris, a master craftsman known for his copper work and carnival designs. He still paints today and in fact he sees himself more as an artist rather than an entertainer.
David, along with Charlie's Roots, produces and performs for the Carnival productions of, what is arguably, the most innovative and controversial Carnival artist ever - Peter Minshall. Minshall's designs have been used in many major events, the most notable being the Barcelona Olympics of 1990 and most recently The Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Over the years Rudder's music has become intertwined with the yearly Minshall's theatric bands.

@psychopathinthemaking
Toussaint was ah mighty man and tuh
Make matters worse he was black
Black and back in the days when
Black men knew their place was in
The back,
But dis rebel he walked through
Nepoleon, who thought it wasnt
Very nice,
And so today, my brothers in Haiti
We still pay the pricee, yeah-eah.
Haiti I am sorry
We misunderstood you
One day well turn our heads
And look inside you,
Haiti I am sorry,..Haiti I am sorry
One day well turn our heads and
Restore your glory.
Many hands reach out to St. Georges
And ah still reachin out!
To those bright and foolish men on
Pretoria, we still scream and shout
We came together in song, tuh steady
The horn, of Africa,
But de papa Lord come and de baby Lord
Go, and still, we doh seem tuh careee
No, nnooooo.
Haiti I am sorry
We misunderstood you
But one day well turn our heads
And look inside you,
Haiti I am sorry,..[hey, heyy!] Haiti I am sorry
One day well turn our heads and
Restore your glory.
When their is anguish in Port Au Prince
Is still Africa cryin,
Were routin by as in parable places
When are neighbours are jus burnin!
Deh say, the middle passage is north
So how come overcrowded boats still
Haunt our lives,
I refuse tuh believe well leave our
People, forever turn our hearts and
Or eyes, away-a-ayyy.
Haiti I am sorry
We misunderstood you
But one day well turn our heads
And look inside you,
Haiti I am sorry,.. Haiti I am sorry
One day well turn our heads and
Restore your glory.
Haiti I am sorry, Haiti I am sorry
[Sorry]
For so long, for so long! We looked
Away, turn our eyes on our own
Haiti I am sorry [Sorry] [Sorry]
[Sorry]

As a haitian.
I want to thank you David for this one.
Haitian history is black history.

Of all the Caribbean islands, the nation of Haiti first received Independence on May 18,1804. Since then that country has seen everything, from Papa Doc, Baby Doc- (who in Miami's Little Haiti community still say he has blood on his hands), Michelle Francois, the Tonton Macouts (under Papa Doc), Aristeed . Until recent times in 2011- when the earthquake shook the island nation of Haiti to its core- the people are still suffering. David Michel Rudder has crafted a masterpiece!!!!
