David Baerwald was born on July 11, 1960 in Oxford, Ohio and is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and musician. He has one son, Beker Baerwald. He was also a member of the Tuesday Night Music Club which helped launch the career of Sheryl Crow.
His songs can be found on 27 million albums sold in the US and Europe.
As a lyricist, he is known for his cold eye, precise language and occasional bursts of romanticism. The Los Angeles Times, in an article related to his album "Triage", called him the most literate of contemporary songwriters, to which Baerwald reportedly replied, "Well, that's the end of me!"
As a composer, his taste ranges from derivations of the simplest of folk-inspired melodies to instrumental music which is often experimental, cerebral and difficult to categorize, though usually containing a strong melodic line.
His songs have been recorded by a wide range of artists ranging from the aforementioned Crow to artists as disparate as legendary Japanese classical artists the Yoshida Brothers through Luciano Pavarotti, through Bangles frontwoman Susannah Hoffs, country legend LeeAnn Rimes, jazz artist Holly Cole, critics darling Jesca Hoop, alt-rocker Pete Yorn, and many others. He also has worked extensively as both a songwriter and instrumental score composer in film and television, including the Golden Globe-nominated song from the 2001 motion picture "Moulin Rouge" called "Come What May", for which he also won the International Film Music Award, and which has been covered by a wide variety of international artists.
