David Campbell

David Joseph Campbell was born in Adelaide, Australia on August 6, 1973. Raised by his grandmother, he grew up wanting to be a performer. He didn't find out he was the son of Australian rock star, Jimmy Barnes, until he was 11, but singing was in his genes.

He began working professionally in Australia in 1993, after extensive training in youth theatre, during which he won an Australia Day award for his contribution to youth stars.

David first attracted attention in Sydney with his role in the hit Australian play Relative Merits, followed by roles in several other plays, in addition to his first major singing roles in cabaret performances at the Stables Theatre. His breakthrough performance was in the highly lauded revival of Alex Harding's musical, Only Heaven Knows, for which he was nominated for a MO Award (Australia's equivalent to the U.S.'s Tony Award) for Best Musical Theatre Performer of the Year.

David has appeared on virtually every major television and radio show in Australia and several in the United States. His recording credits include: Yesterday is Now, Taking the Wheel, Grateful...the Songs of John Bucchino, Hey Mr. Producer, Number One Musicals, Banana Lounge, Andrew Denton's Musical Challenge 2, and cast recordings of Saturday Night, Babes in Arms, Only Heaven Knows, A Kid Inside, and Shout!...the Musical.
