Former American Idol finalist, pop, soul and R&B singer David Hernandez has just released his second studio album 'Kingdom: The Mixtape' through his own label. After self-producing and recording his songs in various home studios in Los Angeles, California, he proves that artists do not need any hi-tech studio time to make a record any longer. 

'Kingdom: The Mixtape' is David's first full album in around seven years since his 2011’s 'I Am Who I Am'. His new album features collaborations with fellow American Idol contestant Blake Lewis and the Grammy-winning producer of Black Eyed Peas, Printz Board. Apart from the release of his album, he has also unveiled the music video for his first single 'Shield (Coat of Armor)' that is available on YouTube.
