The Beginning

About Me


"David J. Gibbs' demo gives such a pleasure when hearing it for the first time. It gets your attention. Nowadays it's really rare that something hits you so hard at first listening. Total respect for the music!"
Riku Hopeakoski - Catamenia
"David has a fine ear for a good melody, and in the long run that's what makes all the difference. And with only 17 years of age, I'm sure you will hear more about him."
Henrik Flyman - Evil Masquerade
