ABOUT DAVEED AND THE MUSIC
His music is fresh, the rhythms are innovative, and each song has the definite mark of Daveed. His "World Pop" music includes bright dance beats, sensuous ballads, with the nuances of the Mediterranean and eastern cultures. The multicultural flavors in his songs have definite international commercial appeal.
“My music is part of my emotional diary.” Having parents that have long been involved in international music and dance scene, was the beginning to the multicultural flavors in his songs. His Latvian father-Rafael-was an international folk dance instructor, connoisseur of opera and classical music, a world class athlete, and Daveed’s hero. They would often have duets of American Classics, Rafael on harmonica and Daveed on guitar. His Yemenite mother-Rachael-a former model, singer, and ethnic ballet dancer was teaching folk dancing through her pregnancy with Daveed. This was the recipe that started his creative fire, and that would only grow and warm the hearts of all those around him.
Daveed had the privilege of performing with music legends such as, Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta and sat in regularly with legendary sax player Frankie Scott and his quartet. On the international scene, he also performed in Italy, Israel, and Turkey. His wanderlust and work brought him to Iraq in 2003 as part of an international delegation. There he was exposed to a unique style of music that fused together with his past experiences, and inspired the distinctive sounds he shares in his debut album “Seven Shades.”
I read this quote by Dalai Lama and thought of you. "Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day." Hope you are smiling :)
