Bio

Biography

Drawn to art and music since he was a child, David McMahon was destined to be David Chicken. From painting and guitar lessons to eventually performing in various bands, David had a flare for performing that didn’t quite fit in with the typical rock band.

After graduating from the University of North Texas, David began performing across the country, first as the “Toyologist” – a character he developed for Toys “R” Us – and soon thereafter as David Chicken. He saw firsthand how music could bring smiles and laughter to kids and parents alike, through positive messages inspiring creativity, exercise and learning.

His mother, Jane “Mama Chicken” McMahon performed along with David for many years and made him the man he is today.

David has performed around the world, including a world tour for the U.S. Navy, with shows in Italy, Spain, Japan and Guam. Three original-music CDs and two DVDs are under his belt, filled with award-winning music and characters that kids and parents love. He has also won three Emmy® Awards through the Lone Star Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). In addition to these accomplishments, David’s songs & videos “Book a Trip”, “Book a Trip” and “Recycle Bin” each won first place awards in the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors.

David is currently focused on family (he and wife Sarah have two little girls: Amaya and Fiana), while still making time for plenty of live shows. David continues performing around the country, helping to bring smiles to the faces of happy families. David is also hard at work on his fourth CD, creating a total of more than 60 original songs and 30 videos. Each David Chicken product is jam packed with upbeat and educational music for the whole family to enjoy.
