David Cosma is a Melbourne based singer songwriter that charms his audiences with melodic, acoustic guitar based music. His songs characteristically give an insight on lifes experiences; bad, good and indifferent, many his own...
He began an affiliation with music at a very early age. Obsessed with Elvis and the Beatles, he was lured into holding his guitar as a left handed player, ala Paul McCartney. The only problem was that he was holding a right handed guitar.... He persisted with this unorthodox method and developed his playing through childhood by teaching himself and dedicated practice.
From the age of 16, he formed bands and played live regularly, gaining experience around the Melbourne music scene in pubs and clubs. In 2003, he co founded and fronted Melbourne based indie band Mistamash. This saw his first installment of original music, the bug had been caught. A well known act in the Melbourne indie scene, the band parted ways in early 2006 after three EP releases. Never able to lose his deep connection forged at an early age with popular music, his songs are heavily influenced around groove, melody, intelligent lyrics and harmony. With striking vocals and warm guitar melody, his music connects on many levels.
Circa late 2006; David found himself alone, with a guitar, pen and paper. Recording commenced on his first solo recording, with producer Rob Feaster. Fast forward 12 months, and here you have it, the debut solo album, Hanging From Aldo. Material from this recording session can be heard right now. In fact you're most likely listening to it as you read this!
