Here’s a bit about the project on DavidArchuleta.com:

Music producer, Dapo recently invited David Archuleta and other friends to his studio and created his first Holiday album titled, “Dapo & Friends Christmas”.

For this special album, made of 9 Christmas classics and one original, all produced and arranged by Dapo, David recorded “(Little) Drummer Boy”.

“I wanted to create a project where I could bring together some of my incredibly talented friends and share their gift of music with the world. This is a collection of some of my favorite writers and artists singing some of my favorite Christmas songs! I hope you enjoy listening to this collection of music as much as we enjoyed recording it. Next year I am hoping to do this again so I can include some people that due to scheduling and what not we weren’t able to this time around. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season, filled with peace and love. Enjoy!” – Dapo

About the project:

“Dapo & Friends Christmas” features the vocal talent of friends: Max Schneider, Stacy Barthe, David Archuleta, Gaby Ramirez, Ginny Blackmore, Abraham McDonald, Nikki Flores, TC, Scotty Granger, and a jazz instrumental with bassist, Robert “Bubby” Lewis.

Dapo Torimiro personally considers this project very special and plans to take it a step further next year with “Dapo & Friends Christmas: Volume 2″ followed up by hosting a Live Show that will benefit those in need during the Holiday Season.

An important aspect of the “My Kind of Christmas Tour” is David’s collaboration with Child Fund, a great organisation that helps children in need all over the world and strives to bring a better future for them.

This cause surely means a great deal to David and he is inspiring so many to get on board with him and make a difference for these kids!
