about

Dear Friends,

I had planned to release an album this year based around my vocal and piano compositions with an added twist... the addition of an Alesis drum machine. It is possible that this may still happen in the future however, my mental and physical health has deteriorated to the point that it is not possible for me to record new music at this time. So instead, with the help of my friends Grant Gilron, Andrew Pakuts, and my sister Jennifer King, I have compiled 14 songs that best represent me as a person and a musician in the present.

I am not the lip-glossed Duran Duran wannabe, or David Bowie fan of my early teens, nor the longhaired hippie genius madly composing in my parent’s basement. I have grown as a person and a musician and I have the battle scars to show for it. At times, my voice sounds like it has been ripped to shreds from smoking. I am no longer the golden voice choirboy of my youth. Still, these songs are great and I believe in them - I hope you will too.

Love,

Dave XO
