About Me

Hi there.My names David and I'm a singer songwriter.One day I decided I to write my own tunes so I picked up my guitar and did it and to be honest it kind of worked.I've supported some names you may have heard and some you probably haven't.As long as there are people listening then theres a chance I've gained some new fans.I couldn't really write music without the people there to back me up.
