Here's what others are saying about the music of David Shipps...
David Hamilton
Producer, Arranger, Conductor
"In a fast-paced, high-pressure world where creative ideas are often required in a minimal amount of time, David has been a great help to me as fellow arranger. He has assisted me on projects for numerous artists including Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and the Nashville Symphony. Every time he brings to the table a high level of skill and dependability, but more importantly the attitude of a humble servant --- and that indeed is a very strong combination!"
Mike Lawrence
Brentwood Baptist Church, Brentwood, Tennessee
"David continues to bring us accessible, yet creative and great-sounding music for worship. He knows how to write for each instrument to bring about the best overall sound, and I never have to wonder if his music will work for our group! Whenever I need something done well, David is the person I call. Beyond his arranging and orchestrating, his knowledge and experience also make him great at leading rehearsals or clinics for us."
Doug Sarrett
Nashville-based Engineer/Owner of "Gear for Days"
"David writes great arrangements that are both musically fitting and delivered on time. It's always a pleasure to work with him in the studio."
Tom Jeanett

"...a blessing...to our worship ministry. [David's] charts have helped us streamline and clean up everything. Rehearsals are more productive and less frustrating, and the overall musicianship has been improved because of [David's] arrangements."
Dan Galbraith
Arranger/Director of Publishing for "PraiseCharts.com"
"David has been a valuable addition to the PraiseCharts team. He has a passion for producing charts that facilitate the worship experience...and the insight to arrange effectively for the local church. His arranging style is fresh, educated, and creative, with some very characteristic approaches to orchestration. We're excited the Lord brought him across our path!"
