Now, using the name GoodGuyDavid1, 27 year old David has left that life behind for one of faith, and new single, &#8216;Baby&#8217;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Baby&#8217; is emblematic of David&#8217;s work ethic and commitment to self-improvement, both on and off-screen. While directed by Mikeal Imaging, David self-produced the clip, which shows him working out in the gym, as well as putting in the hours working on himself mentally and spiritually. He&#8217;s reached that stage of his life where he wants to keep and provide for the woman of his dreams, while pursuing his career goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David&#8217;s previous releases were of a heavier subject matter, but with &#8216;Baby&#8217; he says he&#8217;s reached a new season of peace and abundance, and so the lyrics are more accordingly lighter, as he celebrates love, peace, and gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The banging beat and the steady flow of the lyrics give &#8216;Baby&#8217; a raw authenticity that will appeal to those in similar circumstances, while at the same time serving as an infectious gym workout track, or alternatively, the soundtrack to a long drive down the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the music video for &#8216;Baby&#8217; below, and find out more about GoodGuyDavid1 and his music online on his official <a href=\"http:\/\/goodguydavid1.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/goodguydavidx1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_16799\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L5jw4ocgPcg?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"BABY! \ud83d\udd2a(Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/L5jw4ocgPcg\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up in the mean streets of Prince George County, Maryland, David Vanison was certainly no stranger to the drug scene as a teen, but when he had first-hand experience with violence he realised things needed to turn around in his life.
