David loves cats. Hes got three at home and they keep him company when hes by himself. He's one of Portugal best kept secrets, an amazing musician and performer leading an amazing career. After the huge success of his previous band (Silence 4), achieving multi-platinum in 2 years, he pursued a solo career that keeps dazzling his audience with fresh sounds and unique performances.
Achieving the difficult combination of commercial success and critics praise, his first two albums ("Sing Me Something New" (2003) and "Our Hearts Will Beat As One" (2005), launched him as an amazing singer-songwriter exploring dark subjects and different musical approaches for each track, leading his listeners to a complex and personal world.
His distinctive baritone voice and musical influences that vary from Roy Orbison to Roxy Music, Aphex Twin to B-52's, Jeff Buckley to Ryan Adams, transform his albums into a strong and unusual mix supported by his multi-instrumentalist skills and close-to-the-heart lyrics.
After achieving Gold status, various radio hits, a Vodafone campaign and a highly successful tours with his first 2 albums, he released "Dreams In Colour" (2007). It went straight to 1 on sale charts and went Platinum, confirming his status as one of the most successful Portuguese artists to date. Songs like "Superstars" and "Kiss Me, Oh Kiss Me" were 1 radio hits and he did over 60 sold out shows during 2008.
David: "DREAMS IN COLOUR" is a whole new experience for me, I never thought that my music could sound so optimistic and well lit. Not that I lost the melancholic and lost kid in me, I think he'll be there for a long time, but I found out that even the darkest moments carry some kind of ironic and hopeful meaning waiting to be untied...and sometimes i'm lucky to pull the right strings."
The album includes an amazing version of Elton John 1972 classic "Rocket Man", an unexpected and pleasant surprise for everyone. The stunning one-take video directed by David (he directed all the videos for "Dreams In Colour") was a groundbreaking performance that shocked and appealed everyone who saw it.
On January 2008, MTV chooses David Fonseca for Artist of the Month for the second time in his career and he starts to get some deserved attention outside his country.
"Dreams in Colour" had an international release and was launched in ITALY, GREECE and SPAIN. David presented the album in showcases along with Gabriela Cilmi and One Republic in Italy and reached 1 in the MTV-GREECE chart, which led the music channel to invite him to play live in Athens along with bands like R.E.M and KAISER CHIEFS. He was also chosen to be the opening act for KEANE in Spain.
A live DVD with a very special performance at the Lisbon Coliseum was released during November 2008, a celebration of one of David's highest moments. A mix between cinema, theater and live music, the show got amazing reviews and received an award for "Best Show of The Year".

Obrigada pelo add! Adoro todas as tuas músicas, desde os silence 4 até aos teus álbuns a solo. Conheci-te, na altura, através do meu primo, que segundo ele estudava engenharia informática contigo? Seria? Fui uma privilegiada, pois antes do videoclip da "borrow" passar na televisão, já eu a tinha ouvido :) E isso já foi há anos, e tu continuas, e eu continuo a adorar as tuas músicas! Muitos muitos parabéns.
ola, tudo bem David?! Sempre gostei das tuas músicas, és de facto um dos grandes artistas a nível mundial! Espero algum dia trabalhar alguma música contigo, passa na minha pagina, espero que também gostes das minhas músicas!grande abraço

Não apenas porque nos embalas e nos fazes também vibrar com muitas das tuas músicas mas porque és realmente bom naquilo que fazes sendo capaz de condensar a vida inteira numa só expressão. Espero que voltes a Torres Novas de novo :)
