On this rung of Next Rung Radio, we welcome a man whose fingerprints are all over some of the biggest names in music. David Browning has spent more than 30 years as a producer, performer, and songwriter, working alongside artists like Katy Perry, Natalie Grant, and C.C. Winans. But his story goes far beyond studio walls and stages. He’s walked hand in hand with his wife through cancer, navigated personal battles, endured legal storms, and found himself tested in every direction and yet still he rises with humility, faith, and purpose. Now as co-founder of CrowdMusic, David is helping to rewrite the rules of the industry, creating a platform that puts artists and fans first. His testimony is one of grit, vision, and grace in action.
This conversation is about more than music. It’s about what it means to live with resilience when life hits harder than you can imagine. David opens up about faith that withstands the storms, relationships that outlast accolades, and the power of generosity and humility in an industry often driven by ego. His story reminds us that legacy isn’t built on awards or numbers, but on the lives we touch, the love we give, and the faith that carries us rung by rung.
