About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Born and raised in the suburb of Westchester on the outskirts of NYC, David has been a participant in and supporter of the tri state area music scene for quite some time and has performed in over 500 gigs at some of the areas best venues.While floating in and out of various projects, David's dream has always been to have a solo career, in which he could solely express his musical ideas without having to compromise. Given this freedom David was able to create music more personal and in depth to his style. When the time felt right, David dove right in head first and embarked on a five year journey of perfectionism and musical manifestation the result of which is titled: "The Power of One".David's music takes cues from popular FM Rock out of the 70's, 80's and 90's to create an exciting, diverse sound all its own. His influences include everything from Stevie Wonder to Steve Vai, Led Zeppelin to Creed. David has become well-known and highly respected for his melodic and articulate yet heavy guitar style. He makes playing the guitar look deceivingly easy with his smooth and effortless playing. His voice is unique and possesses a natural quality as he sings through gorgeous melodies and harmonies to create an expansive, colorful soundscape f all that isn't enough, David is also the founder and owner of Starr Ridges Studios and MindRide Records both of which were designed to help further the efforts of creating and bringing to the masses "The Future of Music…Today".PLEASE GO TO WWW.MINDRIDERECORDS.COM FOR MORE INFO Just want to let you know that David Powers has CD's that you can purchase if you like what you hear at MY SPACE !!!!!Please go to www.mindriderecords.com (packgages and merchandize available too) or www.cdbaby.com, amazon.com, towerrecords.com
