David Martin Quinlan (born June 22, 1968) is a Northern Irish worship leader, singer, songwriter and pastor, naturalized Brazilian.[1] His family came to Brazil as a refugee because his father, a great leader of the Catholic movement, converted to Protestantism and suffered a lot of persecution from Catholic ecclesiastical authorities. He was the main precursor in Brazil of the Worship Movement.[2] [3] The singer has received several awards, such as Talento and Promessas Awards.[4] [5] [6]
Quinlan's ministry in Brazil started mentored by the couple of American charismatic missionaries, Dan and Marti Duke, for whom he worked as a music minister and interpreter. Eight years later, he was sent by his leaders to continue his work independently, thus becoming the head of the "Fogo e Glória" Ministry, later called "Paixão, Fogo e Glória", through which he conducts praise conferences and worship in different cities. He is married to Bebel Quinlan, with whom he has two daughters, Danny and Angel.[7]
Guitarist and vocalist, he recorded translated versions of worship-style songs composed by English-speaking worship leaders such as Matt Redman, Martin Smith, Paul Baloche and internationally acclaimed worship groups such as Hillsong and Vineyard Music. On his albums, however, he has predominantly recorded his own compositions.[8] [9]
Through his contract with the Som Livre label, in 2012 the singer recorded in the studio the album Um Lugar para Dois, which featured several special guest appearances. The duet with singer Ana Paula Valadão on the song "Vem Dançar" became the most popular song on the album.[10] [11]
