My name is David England. I began playing guitar,singing, and writing songs when I was in high school;and writing poetry even long before that. I had been in concert band, marching band, choir etc. up until that point.
I started working with overdubs with two cassette players and a mixing board (when I was about 12). Eventually I got a Yamaha four track recorder which opened the world of writing up to me even a little further. I, of course, played in various bands through the years singing and playing guitar...and even some keyboards. Later I would go on to attend Recording School and aquired a one inch sixteen track Otari machine. That was eye opening. Eventually, I would succumb to the ways of digital recording ( after sufficient bugs had been worked out of the format). I now use a combination of analog devices in conjuction with high end hard disc recording to have the best advatages of both worlds. I now write music and record with my drummer and friend Jim O'Connor at my home studio, MyPlanet Recording Studio.
PLEASE! DON'T LET ALL THE DIFFERENT STYLES SCARE YOU OFF...I TEND TO THINK MORE LIKE A PRODUCER THAN STRICTLY A MUSICIAN MOST OF THE TIME...I'VE ALWAYS WRITTEN MUSIC FOR MY MOODS......AND I HAVE A MILLION OF THEM!!!!!!!!
I've had many influences musically: Queen, Rush, David Bowie, Uriah Heep, Ken Hensley,John Lawton,early Styx, early Journey, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Yes, Rick Wakeman, Adrian Belew, ELP, ELO, etc.
Another huge influence on my playing was the effect Spanish flamenco style had on my rhythm guitar playing, (ie. The Gipsy Kings... especially evident on my six and twelve string acoustic playing and classical guitar). I also have quite a passion for digital delays or echo which has quite a large influence on my more electronic pieces.

Sounds Like
I'm all over the road in my styles, so naming "sounds likes" can be tough, but I'll give it a shot. Some of my arrangement structures come off very Rush like (more evident in the heavier songs), my mellower stuff comes off a bit like Uriah Heep or The Moody Blues (with Bowie moments), or possibly Cat Stevens or even James Taylor a bit. Bottom lines is I probably reflect a little bit of everything I've ever liked or even heard.

Yo David Englandasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding a support group (read: comcert) this Friday in San Francisco. Please come, we promise it'll be a (non-meteor-related) blast. Here's the flyer:
