David started singing in church in North Carolina when she was four years old and, aged five, joined her first gospel group, The Mission Of Love. At age 10, David moved to New York City with her mother and attended the Fame School of Performing Arts, graduating in 1984. She contributed to the film 'Ghostbusters' (1984), studied medicine and, by 1991, auditioned for musicals. Touring internationally with the Broadway musical, 'Mama, I Want To Sing', Michelle ended up in Germany, where she sang in the gospel group, The Golden Gospel Singers (1992-1994).
After her move to The Netherlands in 1994 David was a part of many more musical and gospel productions in both The Netherlands and the United States, including 'The Sound Of Motown', 'The Glory Of Gospel' and 'R.E.S.P.E.C.T.'. She sang background vocals for Michael Bolton and Diana Ross and in 2002 became a member of Dutch vocal group, Big, Black & Beautiful.
David started working with Onno Smit and Paul Willemsen (members of Amsterdam-based bands Lefties Soul Connection and Beans & Fatback) and released three albums with them: The Gospel Sessions, Vol. 1 (2015), The Gospel Sessions, Vol. 2 (2016) and The Gospel Sessions Vol. 3 (2018).
The albums were originally credited to Michelle David alone (entitled 'The Gospel Sessions'), but over time The Gospel Sessions started feeling like a band name. By the time The Gospel Sessions, Vol. 4 (2020) came out, Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions was the official name of the band.
In April 2021, they changed their name to Michelle David & The True-tones. All 'Gospel Sessions' albums are now listed as such on all streaming platforms, so most scrobbles will end up there.
