Influences
David Packouz draws his inspiration from an eclectic variety of musical influences. Pink Floyd and Radiohead influence his music in an atmospherically detailed, slightly psychedelic direction while keeping his songs unconstrained by the standard 3 minute pop song length - allowing for extensive buildups in epic songs. Simon and Garfunkel inspires him to strive for lyrical depth and complexly beautiful harmonies. Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana bring out a harder edge of rock and roll while U2, Goo Goo Dolls and Maroon 5 lend a more standard soft rock, emotional pop element. Jeff Buckley and Chris Cornell push him to the limits of his vocal abilities to create a trully unique sound and style of original music.
The album has been printed and it looks and sounds gorgeous! I am ecstatic with the final result. It comes with a total of 11 songs (56 minutes) and includes a full color 12 page album art and lyric booklet.

David Packouz was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the third of nine children of pioneering 'Internet Rabbi' Kalman Packouz. While living in Jerusalem and Miami he became fascinated by science, studied chemistry and philosophy and practiced massage therapy and international business. Through his immersion in these diverse fields and while traveling to many places around the world, he was exposed to many different ideas, philosophies and ways of life.
He came to realize that although we are all unique in our own way, we are also incredibly similar in much more fundamental and important respects. So to understand each other, we must first understand ourselves. This requires above all else, an open mind, honesty and empathy to see these same attributes in others. We are each a small Universe, or MicroCOSM, unto ourselves, yet we all comprise this greater MACROCOSM of human existence.
He has teamed up with renowned South Florida based Guitarist, Bassist, Producer and Engineer Fernando Perdomo, Drummer and Percussionist Derek Cintron and Pianist Alan Gabay to record his first album of original music, titled 'MicroCOSM'. The musical style is characterized by meaningful lyrics, harmonic buildups and soaring guitar solos. MicroCOSM comprises of songs reflecting the very personal, yet universal, aspects of his life: The search for purpose, the traps of monotone mediocrity, getting past rough times in life, the drive to achieve, the love of family and humanity, the challenge to cherish every moment of life and finding peace with destiny.
David it has been wonderful speaking with you this week. I thank you for your lovely comment and for the pure pleasure of your music gracing my heart and life. A wonderful weekend I wish you and your precious family and a week that surpasses all others, to follow. Lovingly Your Maricet
Hey Now David You are one beautiful soul my friend. Inspiring indeed is your beautiful song "CHANGE" It arrives at a very auspicious moment for me as I am just celebrating a wonderful day of change myself today. Having gone head to head with managers, supervisors and personel these past three weeks we have arrived at an agreement that acknowledges the basic needs of humanity, co- workers and colleagues in what was a change they were trying to enforce that would usurp a vital necessity from their and our lives. With one person standing up and saying, "I am not in agreement with this. This doesn't sit right with me and it never will sit right with me!" From the point of my making that statement all wheels began to turn and we have come to a fair and honourable agreement. Change is good if it is, GOOD. NEVER SETTLE. Never just allow others to make decisions for you that do not feel right to you inside yourself. Follow your heart and the wisdom of your spirit. Thanks for keeping that alive in your heart and in your music. Bless all you do and your future dear David. Lovingly and Appreciatively, Your Maricet
