David Foster is a composer, arranger, producer, and keyboardist recognized for his significant impact on the music industry, particularly in pop, R&B, and soundtrack music. Foster contributed to major hits by artists such as Céline Dion, Chicago, Barbra Streisand, and Whitney Houston, shaping the adult contemporary genre. He began his career as a member of Chuck Berry's backup band and co-founded the band Skylark, known for the song "Wildflower." Foster expanded into songwriting and producing, earning his first Grammy Award for writing Earth, Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone."
Throughout his career, Foster collaborated with artists including Toni Braxton, Destiny's Child, Madonna, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, and Diana Ross. He gained prominence as a producer through his work with Chicago, notably on albums such as "Chicago 17." Foster also played a role in launching the careers of Josh Groban and Michael Bublé and served as chairman of Verve Music Group. He received a Golden Globe Award for the song "The Prayer" from the film "Quest for Camelot," performed by Andrea Bocelli and Céline Dion.
Foster's achievements include 16 Grammy Awards, three Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, a Primetime Emmy Award, and seven Juno Awards. He was named Billboard's top singles producer and R&B producer and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, and the US Songwriters Hall of Fame. Foster was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The documentary "David Foster: Off The Record" explores his career and influence in the music industry.
