About Me

I do not believe we were created to be spectators! This has alot to do with the fact that, I was raised for the most part,by my mother, Mary Jean Fox, who was a great Singer/ songwriter/guitarist and activist. We are related to George Fox,The Founder of "The Society Of Friends" (Quakers) and Mom lived out those "Peaceful Warrior" principles. although Mom did her best to raise me right,I took a sharp turn from her princples and helped found a notorious North east L.A.gang and was a heroin addict for many years. Which doesn't look good on a Resume,but thanks be to God,gives me a heart to reach into the dark corners of this planet and share what I've been given.(Street Church) Music has always been a part of my life and I wrote my first real song in California Youth Authority (Youth Prison) when I was 13.. I have written for B.M.G. and afew other publishers,one of my songs "Kingdom Come" came out on may18, 08 on hd net T.V. and on june 08 on pbs In a show called The "Outlaw Trail Concert" my song is about Jesse James and performed by Confederate Railroad. It will show once a month for three years. dvds and cds in box sets of the show are being sold now! coolness. I play in prisons,and Work for Prison Reform and restorative Juvenile justice with the organization Barrios Unidos (United Neighborhoods) I am also the co-Director of the organization "For The People/Street Church" .I believe in rights for ALL living things and believe in "One People".I support the longest walk 2. longestwalk.org (check it out) I recently played in the southwest in support of the walk and the basic rights the native people of this country so rightly deserve. alot of the reservations are worse than 3rd world nations. Check out my song "Walk On Wakan" the walkers are walking 4000 miles many are elders. say a prayer for them. My Foster Dad,"Big house" Waldren followed the Lakota way,just before he passed to the spirit world he said to me," When I leave my Body,pay special attention to the hawks"so I do. I am very connected to all of life and I'm so thankful to be on this earth and that I get to experiance Music. I carry a messege of hope to prisoners of ,Violence, and coorperate greed. I believe in fresh starts, and as a Musician I even make house calls,and have as much healthy fun as humanly possible! Talk to me..really.Peace to you all,Much Love...David
