From the age of twelve he started playing guitar, the love at first strum took precedence of school work and anything that dared get in its way. Dave started writing songs straight away and played is first ever show at his high school at the age of thirteen. At the age of fiften Dave dave joined Kildare Youth Theatre which gave Dave a space to practice his music, perform drama and grow as a confident young man, he says to this day " i would be half the person i am now without KYT". Dave became very popular on the Irish scene at a young age before eventually moving to liverpool to try and further his career as a musician.
Dave is always looking for as much music to play as possible and loves playing with other artists and is available as a session guitarist and singer, most notably playing with such artists as; Bon Jovi, Seal, Ringo Starr, Russell Watson, Paco Pena & Kaya
