David Bowden (born on February 14, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, and music producer. He is known by his stage name, Pink Sweat$. He released his first short music collection, called an EP, titled Volume 1 in 2018. His song "Honesty" was a big hit from that EP. His first full album, Pink Planet, came out in 2021.

Early Life and Music Journey

Growing Up in Philadelphia

David grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His dad was a minister, and his mom was a gospel singer. Because of his religious family, he only listened to Christian music until he was 17. The first rap artists he heard were 50 Cent and Kanye West.

Starting His Music Career

After high school, David had a health challenge for three years. Getting better from this made him want to focus on music full-time. He got his stage name, "Pink Sweats," because he often wore pink sweatpants. He was inspired by the rapper Cam'ron.

David started making music when he was 19. He worked as a demo singer at Sigma Sound Studios. There, he found out how much he loved writing songs. He also produced music for other artists, like rapper Tierra Whack and country duo Florida Georgia Line.

Music Releases and Success

First Songs and EPs

On July 12, 2018, Pink Sweat$ released his first song, "Honesty." This song quickly became popular on music streaming sites. It reached number 10 on Spotify's US Viral Chart. Its popularity grew even more after it was added to Spotify's "Are & Be" playlist. Later, a new version of the song came out, featuring Jessie Reyez.

He released another song, "No Replacing You," on July 26, 2018. His first EP, Volume 1, came out on November 2, 2018. He also released a music video for his song "Drama" that same month. He then released a second EP called Volume 2. Both EPs had five songs each. Pink Sweat$ chose to make short songs that were easy to listen to on streaming services.

Albums and Collaborations

In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pink Sweat$'s first album was delayed. Instead, he released an EP called The Prelude.

In February 2021, his first full album, Pink Planet, was released. He had worked on this album for about a year, starting in late 2019. In January 2021, a new version of his song "At My Worst" came out, featuring singer Kehlani. Pink Sweat$ and Kehlani performed this song together on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 10, 2021.
