David is a nominee for the Red Letter Award USA and is currently working on "Dancefloor," a brand-new dance-pop single and music video for his seventh single release.
Winner of the Music Award for "Wonderland" in the Best Independent Male Track category (Top 100 Songs) Wonderland is the brand new Christmas release from top international model, singer and actor David Schaefer... a festive pop ballad destined to soundtrack the romantic heart of the holiday season. Written and produced by the award-winning team at Harvey/Grey Music, Wonderland marks David’s sixth single in just 14 months, cementing his fast-rising status as one of Europe’s most consistent and exciting independent pop artists.
David rode high throughout the summer with his euphoric anthem Dancing In The Summer Rain, which spent two consecutive weeks at No.1 on the Indie Radio Charts, winning him a surge of new fans across the UK and Europe. Now, with Wonderland, he returns to his romantic pop roots, delivering a lush, cinematic Christmas ballad for lovers of classic festive pop the world over.
Sonically, Wonderland sits proudly in the grand tradition of iconic Christmas pop, think the emotional depth of George Michael, the warmth and polish of Michael Bublé, and a touch of timeless British Christmas nostalgia in the style of Cliff Richard. This is full-scale, unapologetic Christmas pop at its finest.
Painted in sound are images of cosy fires, mulled wine, glowing Christmas lights, falling snow and distant sleigh bells... a sonic winter postcard wrapped in romance. David’s pure, high pop tenor reveals a new depth here, dropping into warmer, intimate low notes for the romantic verses, before rising through a crescendo-building pre-chorus into a soaring, knockout chorus designed for mass sing-along impact.
The arrangement is rich and classic yet polished for modern ears, featuring sweeping piano lines, lush vocal stacks, delicate string stings and festive orchestral flourishes, all masterfully crafted by composer, arranger and producer Neil Harvey. Neil’s signature touch brings both cinematic scale and intimate emotional detail to the track, giving Wonderland its elegant lift, warmth, and timeless Christmas magic.
And in a joyful nod to true pop craftsmanship, Wonderland proudly brings back two almost-forgotten treasures of classic songwriting:
A proper middle-8 / bridge that genuinely goes somewhere new, both melodically and harmonically.
And yes... a full key change, in glorious ‘90s boy-band Christmas tradition... a knowing wink to the golden era of festive pop à la Westlife, guaranteed to send shivers down the spines of Christmas-pop devotees everywhere.
Wonderland is a feel-good, heart-warming festive single that blends nostalgia with contemporary polish, positioning David Schaefer perfectly for the Christmas season and beyond. It is a song built to live on festive playlists year after year... a modern Christmas classic in the making.
Wonderland is out on all major platforms on December 9th.

David Schaefer Unleashes the Soundtrack of the Season with Euphoric New Single: Dancing In The Summer Rain Sunshine. Seduction. A beat that won't quit. This summer, international recording artist David Schaefer is turning up the heat with his brand-new single Dancing In The Summer Rain , a euphoric, feel-good pop anthem destined to dominate playlists, pool parties, and boardwalk dance floors from Miami to Ibiza.
