Influences
Any and all music played from the heart. I feel that music is a glimpse into the spirit and soul of man. Without passion music has no voice at all..... but with the passion the music dances eternal and lifts the heart and soul upward.

Dave has released 3 critically acclaimed solo CD's and currently owns and operates a recording studio in the Chicago area, where he is active producing bands. What Dave has learned as a producer has been invaluable to the musical direction he has chosen now....“Production should be transparent. Technology should never mask the passion.... If it isn’t in your heart and soul then you can’t fix it in the mix”
