David Wyatt Sr. was born in Fresno, CA on September 04, 1954. He comes by his affinity with music naturally, as his brothers sing with many famous groups. As it often happens in a household filled with the love and the appreciation for music, David began to demonstrate his musical aptitude by the tender age of eight, by which time he was playing boogie woogie tunes on the piano.
During David’s adolescence, although his parent’s required that his school work remain his primary focus, his mother managed to fit in private piano lessons, which served to enhance his musical talent..
By 1969 David had become a well-rounded, full-fledged musician, and as is customary in nurturing African-American households, at fifteen he went on tour with a gospel group called the Supreme Jubilees. Fortunately for David, he had just begun to receive his musical blessings, as early in his career, he collaborated and performed with the likes of The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Supreme Jubilees. After the tour had to get back to school.
The 1970’s found David embarking upon a long and fruitful relationship with forming a local group. David, committed to the search for good talent in Fresno, CA and began to incorporate top musicians. It was during this period he formed the group Black Fur, with members Jarvis Henry (Lead Guitar), Jeff Henry (Bass Guitar), Duane Johnson (Drums), William Barnett (Tenor Sax) and Freddie Walton (Tenor Sax). Black Fur became one of the finest groups out of the San Joaquin Valley.
