Dave Moody

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Moody is an artist, producer, songwriter and film maker from North Carolina. His instrumental proficiency has earned him two Grammy Award Nominations and three International CMA Awards as a member of The Moody Brothers. After becoming regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry and touring extensively throughout Europe in the 80s, the trio of Carolina brothers signed a contract with the Walt Disney Company in 1992 to open and perform their own nightly concerts at Disneyland Paris' Disney Village, where they performed for over thirty million guests during their time in France.

Then, Dave's accomplishments as a solo artist, producer, and songwriter began to flourish. After returning home from Paris, he re-established the family label Lamon Records and his own Dave Moody Productions. His tribute to legendary guitarist Chet Atkins "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" was nominated for a Dove Award in 2002. This led to his winning two GMA Dove Awards (the Christian Music Grammys) in 2005 and 2006, and 15 other Dove nominations along the way to emerged as a major Christian music industry professional.

In 2007, along with his son Josh Moody, Dave turned a portion of his attention to directing, writing and scoring music for motion pictures and television. Dave’s first venture into the movies was to write and score the musical motion picture Stuck In The Past, produced by Dog ‘N Doggie Productions. This led to the father son duo starting Elevating Entertainment, where they wrote, produced and directed their first family film, Praise Band: The Movie released in 2008.
