Early life
Choi was born in Anaheim, California, on March 22, 1986. He is of Korean descent and comes from a musical family: Ray and Jane Choi, his parents, own a music store named "Grace Store," and his father plays the autoharp. Choi was surrounded by music growing up, and he does not believe he would have pursued music today if these influences had existed.
Choi was expected to play the piano and violin at a young age, an activity he did not enjoy. In fact, Choi will be in danger with his parents for not exercising. He doesn't remember much about playing his violin, but he does recall attempting to smash it several times. To the point where he actually disliked music itself, the internet actor claims that his passion for playing made him hate everything about the violin and piano. Despite the fact that it wasn't his favorite thing to do, Choi does acknowledge that it was good that he had to leave class twice a week to attend his orchestra class twice a week. Choi claims that his class was faster for him than it was for some of the other children because he had already learned some of the subjects in his private lessons. The unexpected musician was then named concertmaster of his school orchestra. He'll play classical and jazz music, and he'll never be exposed to a pop song until sixth grade, when he heard Smash Mouth's "All Star" was released. He discovered "All the Little Things" by blink-182 and attempted to perform the song on guitar shortly thereafter. Choi began to listen to more pop music and fell in love with the Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, and Japanese pop. Choi's junior high school experience was to remain up late, recording the songs, and recording his own mix tapes. Choi began to write his own songs and his first solo work was entitled "Lost Memories," written on piano. Choi stayed in the school orchestra even after discovering pop music. Choi was forced to audition for the Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) orchestra after being threatened by his parents. Choi rehearsed with this orchestra every Tuesday.
Choi also stopped taking violin lessons in high school and started jazz piano lessons in ninth grade. Choi began writing music and received his first award after submitting an instrumental pop song titled "I'm Really Happy When" for a competition.
Career
Choi's original compositions were digitally recorded using the use of a program called Acid Pro. Choi learned a few songwriting tricks from a friend, and he learned how to use the software within days of downloading it.

After winning the grand prize for the magazine's John Lennon Songwriting Contest for teens, he appeared in USA Weekend Magazine with Usher. These accomplishments marked the beginning of Choi's musical career: he was signed to Warner Chappell Music, where he was first hired as a staff writer and producer.
David's humourous "YouTube (A Love Song) was released on December 30, 2006, and it brought him "overnight" fame. Choi complemented the success of "YouTube (A Love Song)" with two other humourous and heartfelt songs, including "By My Side" and "I Like You": "My Company" is a "half-humorous, half-love" song. His YouTube love song was released on YouTube's home page, which was unveiled to him. When a friend told him, he found out. He soon received calls for new songs, a live performance, and an album. He wanted to record his songs in an album, but first he had to go through court procedures and accept a variety of contractual terms. He left Warner and remained unsigned to continue with his own album collection.
In 2008, Choi's first album was released. It was titled Only You, and it contained mainly love songs, including "Love," "Won't Even Start," "Something To Believe," and "Only You." In 2009, he released a Korean special edition of the album, which included three bonus songs. He made his debut with "Won't Even Start" and released a music video to accompany it, along with Wong Fu Productions in making his first official music video.

On the same day, he unveiled a music video for its lead single "That Girl." He and his colleagues, a Wong Fu Productions, made the music video. Julia Chang was portrayed as 'that girl,' opposite him in his second collaboration with the company, and it also released a Korean edition with two bonus tracks: "Valentines" and "My Company." He launched By My Side, an Indonesian-English translation of By My Side, in collaboration with Indonesian singer Maudy Ayunda on January 14, 2014. With the support of Dewi Lestari, a well-known book writer-musician, the lyrics were translated.
Choi performed two songs he wrote the year before, "You Were My Friend" and "This and That Is Life" on his 2011 tours. He has confirmed that these two songs will be included in his third album. Choi's third music video for his single "By My Side" was released on July 7, 2011, an extension of Wong Fu Productions. Choi also started to assist his father, Ray Choi, by posting YouTube videos of him playing the autoharp. The instrumental version of his song "I Choose Happiness," which is also used in KevJumba and Wong Fu Productions videos, was also selected to be used in Colin Hanks' 2011 film Lucky. It was also included in an episode of ABC's Make It Or Break It. On October 25, 2011, Choi's third album, Forever and Ever, was released.
