David Lyndon Huff

David Lyndon Huff, son of arranger and conductor Ronn Huff, received his first drum kit during third grade, the same year his family relocated to Nashville. Session work began for him already by high school. He initially enrolled at Belmont College before transferring to Azusa Pacific College in southern California, after which he launched a career playing sessions and touring as a musician from a Los Angeles base. Over time his focus shifted away from drums toward keyboards and programming. In 1985 he joined his brother, guitarist and singer Dann Huff, to establish the band Giant, whose 1989 A&M release Last of the Runaways reached the charts and included the Top 40 single "I'll See You in My Dreams." Their follow-up album Time to Burn, issued by Epic, did not chart, prompting the group’s dissolution and Huff’s return to studio sessions. Growing curiosity about world music led him to produce the albums Rhythm of Creation and Voices of Africa, after which he issued his debut solo project, Worldbeat.
