About Me


Hi, I'm Dave. This isn't really a "band." It's just a one-man band - me - who takes the occasional contributions or suggestions from other people. I grew up singing, and I try to play a little drums, guitars, keys, beats, etc, and do most of my own recording, mixing and finalizing in my home. My old friend Josh is my first choice for working with me on music. And I try to keep him up to speed on some of the tools I use when I'm taking a moment out to record some music. He may contribute once in a while. I've also had some people contribute lyrics over the years, which I either offer or agree to turn into music. And, my two-year-old son made his debut playing a few seconds of acoustic drums on one track of my indie album. With me, it's more about community and less about money. So, I'll always be "demo-quality" and "indie" if that's what it takes to feel right. I'm neither "pop" nor "anti-pop." I'm just Cristus.

Influences: Strange jolts being fired through my nervous system on a regular basis when I was a kid, Rage Against the Machine, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Weezer, Green Day, Dizzy Gillespie, Schumann, and Rachmaninoff, to name a few. The spirit of underground rappers and preachers, random samples of jazz, anything closest to what I call wall-o'-rock, bass and hip-hop, the occasional electronica and dance.
Sounds Like: Red wine, a good steak, a smooth cigar, or an occasional doobie. A little taste of hope, a dash of helpfulness, natural and artificial flavoring, and some uncommon sense to keep you company in those lonely times.
Record Label: SomeLikeWhat Records
Type of Label: Indie
