Influences: God, many people, and many things.
Sounds Like: "Right from the get-go, we are hit square in the jaw with David's deep pocket and Funky-as-it-gets grooves. Part of David's unique voice comes from his unusual right hand technique (watch the Vid's or ask him yourself via this website!). He has really captured a unique sound and perfect balance of the rhythmic booty factor and melodic statement.""Beautiful melodies, nice compositions and some nasty pocket. I will be listening to this album repeatedly just to take a lesson in groove from the master. Some of the best bass lines I've heard in a long time! Dyson very well may be the funkiest dude around, but he's also very much got something to say here and I suggest you take a listen!"Damian Erskine-Bass Musician MagazineLive In India!Live In Augusta,GA.
