David Mouton, American saxophonist/owner/manager is the owner of Souled Out Entertainment LLC, a musical group based in Youngsville, Louisiana that has been providing entertainment for weddings, corporate events and other live music venues since 2001. The year 2020 was set to commemorate his band’s twenty year (20) anniversary of Souled Out and looking ahead, the future never looked brighter.

In March of 2020, the pandemic began to change the landscape globally for everyone - with musicians, live music venues around the globe experiencing the unthinkable - watching their livelihood and passion be put on pause indefinitely. What began as simply his wife’s idea to design a “space for Dave to practice, maybe record a song or two for fun” in their garage just until the world made sense again. As the weeks turned into months and events continued to cancel, the future looked bleak. “There were many moments during the making of ‘joyeur seul’ - being isolated, being terrified, and facing an uncertain future began to take its toll on my own mental health” That crisis combination would become the catalyst to confronting his own insecurities as a performer, inexperience as a producer, also serving as arranger under the most dire of conditions.

The end result...a very genuine, intimately raw and beautifully candid collection of music loaded with unbridled emotion from Dave Mouton. Recorded entirely in a crudely modified garage using only virtual instruments in Presonus Studio One and GarageBand, the release features Mouton on soprano, alto and tenor saxophones and is his debut solo release.

Dave grew up in Lafayette, LA and earned his B.A.in music performance from The University of Louisiana-Lafayette. He studied with Dr. Robert Luckey and Dr. William J. Hochkeppel during his tenure there. In the year 2000, he founded the musical group Souled Out and has performed for thousands of events across the southern region of the United States. Souled Out has earned five (5) ‘Couples Choice Awards” (2016-present) and is a three time (3) ‘Best Of Weddings’ award recipient from The Knot ™️. Souled Out has been voted ‘Best Band’ by The Times Of Acadiana (2018-2019) and ‘Best Of The Bayou’ by The Tri-Parish Times. Dave is an endorsed artist for Jerry Harvey Audio, Presonus Electronics and SYOS - Shape Your Own Sound mouthpieces.

Currently Dave resides in Youngsville, LA with his wife, Jessica and their beautifully blended family that consist eight children, two grandch
