Description :
Mr. David first picked up a guitar at the age of fourteen—his mother’s 1965 Karl Haser that had been sitting in her closet for years. He’s been playing ever since, experimenting with different music genres and styles and studying many of the great songwriters of this century.
A near obsessive devotee of The Beatles, his influences run the gamut from Bob Dylan to Johnny Cash and Buddy Holly, touching on Paul Simon, Roy Orbison and The Rolling Stones in between. His appreciation for blues–influenced rock’n roll, with simple, classic melodies and guitar rifts, comes out in much of his own music. And, his childhood exposure to the many different sounds of the world plays a significant role in his original compositions, where he often interweaves a variety of instruments together, like Mediterranean–inspired mandolin rhythms and African drum beats with classical guitar rifts and rock–influenced base lines. He’s willing to use any instrument, from the piano to the conga drum to the harmonica, wash board and everything in between to create unexpected, exciting sounds that get children enthusiastic about singing and moving to music.
Here's what one reviewer had to say of Mr. David's music, "Mr. David’s quirky little songs reach out to kids from a fun and yet sophisticated place. You’ll find superb musicianship and creativity here and adult fans of quirky bands like They Might Be Giants will find it easy to identify with the perfect mix of playfulness and just solid, quality music."
