Template:Infobox musical artist 2 David Archuleta (born December 28, 1990 in Miami, Florida) is a singer, and current contestant in the Top 24 on American Idol. Archuleta spent the first six years of his life in various cities in Florida, but later moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, in February 1997, and later to Murray, Utah where he currently resides with his parents and siblings. At the age of 10, Archuleta auditioned for a Utah talent competition. He has since participated in the talent competition Star Search, where he won in the Junior Singer category at the age of 12. He is a Junior at Murray High School in Murray, Utah and has attended there for both his Sophomore and Junior years.

In 2004 Archuleta was diagnosed with a very rare and medically un-treatable condition with one of his vocal cords - likely as a result of a viral infection that caused one of his vocal cords to be partially paralyzed. The condition affected his ability to sing for more than few minutes at a time. Through a series of vocal therapy exercises and a lot of patience, the condition seemed to improve gradually over the next 24-30 months and although he is still showing some signs of weakness on occasion, has been able to perform well enough to qualify as a current contestant in American Idol's Top 24 group for season 7. (as of Feb. 19, 2008).

David Archuleta is currently a contestant in the Top 24 on American Idol's seventh season. On February 19, 2008 he performed The Miracles' 1960 hit "Shop Around" written by Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy.
