Bio
..Chew on this, it's delicious.. ..A few quick thoughts..... ..Every time I sit at the piano to write, I keep one thing in mind: keep it listenable. No matter how advanced your music is, the majority of people will not care for it if there isn't a line, or a hook, or something that reminds them to put your album back on. I struggled with this for a while. I found mainstream pop to be too cliché, but most of the junk they taught me in school to be too foreign to the majority of listeners, including myself. I've learned to calm this tension by keeping pop forms and melodies, while at the same time using jazz harmonies and chordal movement. I strive to be a songwriter who can write popular tunes while still being respected by true musicians... ..So,.. ..It took me a while to pick out the members in my group - musicians that had formally trained chops, but that still wanted to play pop rock. The search was brutal and long, but I ended up with some guys who seriously know what they're doing, considerably more than me. I am confident in our mission. We are strong in the effort for pop rehabilitation... -David .... .... .... Join the Mailing List!.... ..No Spam, I Promise.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
