David Levi Osmond is the fourth son of Alan and Suzanne Osmond. He was born on 21 August 1979, making him a young 37 years old. His father is the founder of the original singing group, The Osmond Brothers. He has seven brothers – Michael, Nathan, Douglas, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler.

One might say that David Osmond was born with music flowing through his veins. When he was younger, he and three of his siblings – Michael, Nathan, and Douglas – comprised the musical quartet known as the Osmond Boys. Mike Curb, who signed the original Osmond Brothers to their recording contract, decided to make the Osmonds famous once again and signed David and his brothers. They had four songs in the Top 40 in the U.K. and performed to sold-out stadiums and arenas in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The Osmond Boys worked extensively with the Children's Miracle Network, visiting sick children around the country. They also appeared on several TV shows, such as Good Morning America, and Live with Regis and Kathy Lee.

He was honored to perform in the touring cast of the show after Donny became ill. He played Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Pittsburg CLO in downtown Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, through 7 June 2009.

Pursing a Music Career

To pursue his music career, David auditioned and performed through Hollywood Week in the eighth season of American Idol in 2009. However, due to laryngitis, he was unable to continue the show.

On 1 March 2010, David did a soft release of an album called Reflected, which is available for download on iTunes and samples of the songs are available on YouTube. That was followed by the release of his first album, Road Less Traveled, through Shadow Mountain Records in the summer of 2010.

The Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

David, like his father Alan, suffers from the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS). To help him back to the stage, he repeats his father’s saying, "I may have MS, but MS does not have me." As he has overcome his physical challenges, his c
