CCM artist Dave Pittman suffers from Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder causing involuntary repetitive movements and sounds. As a child, Pittman’s disability made him the target of bullies, and he eventually became suicidal. Attempting to take his life at only 10 years old, he stopped short of pulling the trigger of his father’s gun when his parents returned home from an errand. With the love and support of his family, Pittman’s faith began to blossom, and he grew to fully embrace and understand his worth in Christ.

Pittman’s soulful voice and touching story endeared him to millions during his appearance on American Idol’s 9th season. While auditioning for the show, he was dubbed “crazy brave” by guest judge Neil Patrick Harris. Those words inspired Pittman’s 2011 debut album of the same name and became a beacon of encouragement for the singer/songwriter’s career. In addition to performing at churches and various venues across the country, Pittman has shared his powerful testimony at conferences, schools and special events for those affected by Tourette Syndrome.
