About Me

Guitar MySpace Layouts - General MySpace Layouts Guitar MySpace LayoutsDeep, soul searching lyrics allow David's music to speak to us all about our experiences of loss and despair but also hope and fulfilment. Driven by his love of live performance evident in his on-stage presence, David has drawn comparisons to Michael Stipe from REM and Ed Kowalczyk from Live. In April 2008 David began work on recording his debut album at Studio Slim in East London and with the help of producer Andy Black, 'Perfect Silence' was released in February 2009.
