David R. Naylor was born in Murray, Utah with an uncommon interest in music, but did not pursue that interest seriously until, as a young teenager in Coalville, Utah, he failed in an attempt to earn his Boy Scout music merit badge. Soon thereafter, as an act of adolescent defiance, he began composing music for church and school.
David graduated in 1987 with a B.S. degree in Music Education from Southern Utah University via Snow College and Brigham Young University. He taught in the public schools of Fillmore and Tooele, Utah, and directed the L.D. Singers, a touring group affiliated with the L.D.S. Institute of Religion in Ephraim.
Naylor sang with the Tabernacle Choir and has published nearly 100 works with Jackman Music, including settings for choir, piano, voice, and orchestra. His original composition, "Behold the Wounds in Jesus' Hands" continues to be among Jackman Music's most beloved choral works.
