David Foster

David Walter Foster was born on November 1, 1949, in Victoria, British Columbia. A child piano prodigy, Foster moved to England at age 16 with Chuck Berry's touring backing band before relocating to Los Angeles in the 1970s as a premier studio keyboardist and arranger for John Lennon, Barbra Streisand, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Foster became the definitive architect of adult contemporary pop, producing Chicago's hits 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry', Celine Dion's 'The Power of Love' and 'Because You Loved Me', and Whitney Houston's historic 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack, including the record-breaking 'I Will Always Love You'.

Foster famously discovered and mentored international superstars Michael Bublé and Josh Groban, produced Andrea Bocelli's crossover albums, and served as Chairman of Verve Music Group. He has won 16 Grammys (including three Producer of the Year awards), an Emmy Award, and is an inductee of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
