David Raybuck, Alternative Rock Artist
Alternative rock musician David Raybuck released a powerful new single, "He Knows Your
Name," on November 1, 2023. This spiritually charged song offers solace and hope to those grappling
with the weight of suicidal thoughts. "He Knows Your Name" is not just a song; it's a lifeline, a message
of love, and a reminder of the intrinsic worth every individual possesses.
Inspired by the profound words of Psalm 139, which declare that we are wonderfully made and known
by God, this song encourages listeners to call on God for salvation and freedom from hopelessness. In a
world where far too many people believe they are a worthless and meaningless accident, David
Raybuck offers a compelling counter-narrative found in scripture: that God is the one who created
you, and he did not make a mistake by doing so.
“He Knows Your Name” is the latest example of David Raybuck’s unconventional use of
secular-sounding music with lyrics that point people to God. Emotive melodies are woven together
with styles reminiscent of influential artists like Ryan Adams, Coldplay, and Tom Petty to create an
experience that is both catchy and unique. "I am very excited about this song because I believe God is
going to use it to save lives, both physically and spiritually," says David Raybuck.

David Raybuck is the prodigal singer-songwriter of spiritual alt-rock for music freaks, and he is on a
mission to help people encounter their Creator through music. With far too much generic and dark
music in the world, David wants to reach the ears of music lovers who are stirred by original songs with
undeniable beauty and creativity. He draws from the influences of incredible artists like Radiohead,
The Beatles, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ween, Led Zeppelin, Elliot Smith, Supergrass, Air,
Failure and many others to create music that is catchy yet unique, with flavorings of alternative rock,
folk, grunge, & Americana that sound nothing like what people would expect from “Christian music”.
While David is relatively new to the independent music scene at the age of 42, he has been writing
music since his teenage years. In his youth, his musical efforts were selfishly motivated and led him
down a destructive path. But after rejecting Christianity for most of his life, David realized the error of
his ways in his early 30s and is now dedicated to serving God and sharing his life-changing message
with others.
David lives with his wife Lindsay near Cleburne, Texas just south of Fort Worth, and he is a father of
seven children, pastor at a local church, and professional computer nerd. In the limited amount of
time these roles have spared him, he has continued to write a lot of music over the years, and now it is
finally time to spread it. David produced his debut 14-song album, The Prodigal, in his modest home
studio in 2022. Showbiz Now Magazine called it “one of the most idiosyncratic songwriting
collections released in recent memory as well as one of the finest gospel-themed albums in the
last quarter century.” David is currently working on his second album and is committed to releasing
much more work in the future by drawing from new inspiration and over two decades of unfinished material.
