David Truong is a totally blind singer song writer and keyboard / piano player. During his teenage years, He started focusing on his singing, song writing and keyboard / Piano Playing. At the same time he was also introduced to the joys of playing sport. With commitment pressures being stretched at that time, He made the hard decision to take up sport seriously, and try to see how far he could go.

A few years ago, it became apparent that David's time playing competitive sport was drawing to a close, and therefore he was able to begin focusing on his original life passion - his singing, song writing and keyboard playing once again.

David wrote a number of songs and produced a few home recordings with himself on vocals and keyboards.

David was keen to share these recordings with the public to gauge how his music would be received, and so he decided to create a home page through a streaming service called SoundCloud.

David received an overwhelming and encouraging amount of positive feedback to his music, so in early 2014 David started attending weekly singing workshops through Access Arts to develop his vocal and collaborative skills.

These singing workshops gave David the opportunity to contribute 2 of his original songs ("Don't Bite The Hand" and "Wild Wind" as well as performing them with the Access Arts Singers Choir at a number of events such as: Access Arts Community Showcase event at Windsor Hall, Windsor Brisbane on 14 June 2014, Fete de la Musique Festival Event St. John's Cathedral, Brisbane on 21 June 2014.

It was through these singing workshops that the facilitator, Annie Peterson encouraged David to pursue his own solo project. Annie believes David's songs are worth developing, recording and showcasing to the public. So in August 2014, David decided to embark on a project called Ambition Road with a plan to record an album in 2015.

The Ambition Road music project, brings to life the original songs of David Truong in a Keyboard driven, Acoustic, Reflective, Folk/Soft-Rock style.

After creating a facebook page to promote his Ambition Road project, David was lucky enough to be invited to appear on the 4ZZZ Folk Buddies show to perform one of his original songs and to talk about his musical journey.
