Fusing the balladry of James Blunt, the pop sensibilities of Oasis, the haunting soundscapes of Coldplay and emotive wordplay of Neil Finn, David has created his own sublime niche in the commercial singer/songwriter realm.
Lyrically and musically, his subject matter is universal; love, life and loss represented in songs that have an equally melodic and universal appeal reflecting a genuine love of the songwriting craft.
Formerly bass player/vocalist/songwriter for Australian powerpop outfit The New Wave Failures, David's earliest work from the bands two EPs 'What's New!' and 'Transit' gained national airplay on the Triple J network and were profiled in Rolling Stone magazine.
As a performer, David has toured the world as bass player for the critically acclaimed tribute show Queen It's A Kinda Magic. The band performed major international TV, radio and festival appearances as well as countless live shows to sellout audiences around the globe.
Since 2007 David has been based between Australia and Europe where he continues to perform solo acoustic shows and further his songwriting career in the UK and European markets.
