About
After becoming regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry and touring extensively throughout Europe in the 80s, the trio of Carolina brothers signed a contract with the Walt Disney Company in 1992 to open and perform their own nightly concerts at Disneyland Paris' Disney Village, where they performed for over 50 million guests during their time in France.
Then, Dave's accomplishments as a solo artist, producer, and songwriter began to flourish. After returning home from Paris, he re-established the family label Lamon Records and his own Dave Moody Productions. His tribute to guitarist Chet Atkins "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" was nominated for a Dove Award in 2002. This led to his winning two GMA Dove Awards (the Christian Music Grammys) in 2005 and 2006, and 20 other Dove nominations along the way to emerge as a major Christian music industry professional. In 2007, Dave was among the Dove Awards most nominated with six nominations as an artist, producer and songwriter.
In 2007, Dave turned a portion of his attention to directing, writing and scoring music for motion pictures and television. His first venture into the movies was to write and score the musical motion picture Stuck in the Past, produced by Dog ‘N Doggie Productions. This quirky film and Dave's soundtrack, which features everything from bluegrass to broadway to 50's rockabilly and more, won "Best Musical Film" at the 2008 Creation Arts Film Festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Dave and his son Joshua Moody started Elevating Entertainment Motion Pictures where they wrote, produced and directed their first family film, Praise Band: The Movie which was released in 2008. The Moodys' second film No Limit Kids: Much Ado About Middle School, featuring Bill Cobbs and Golden Globe Nominee Lee Meriwether was released in 2010.
