   About David Robinson
David was born in England and came to Australia as a very young boy. He calls Adelaide, South Australia, home.

Music has always been the central theme of David's life and he has played in many bands in Adelaide. He performed at the Bicentennial celebrations in 1988 and has appeared as an actor and musician at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

He has appeared on more than 10 CDs and has enjoyed airplay on 891 ABC Adelaide, 5MMM (now 3D radio), Coast FM, 5UV (now Radio Adelaide), Air FM and WCUW FM (Worcester MA) amongst others.

David was the winner of the "Working Life" section of the 1997 SCALA Songwriters Event with his composition "Monday Bloody Monday".

David also writes, and has had poems, articles and reviews published in such esteemed organs as the Derbyshire Evening Telegraph, Rip it Up, Modern Times, SCALA News, Cycle, Write Away and The Fix, to name but a few. He counts his six-word letter to The Guardian, published in March 2005, amongst his finest literary achievements...

David is influenced by many artists, from Muddy Waters to Nirvana to Oasis, but cites The Beatles as having the biggest effect upon his musical outlook. This is evident in many of his songs. Non-musical influences include Kurt Vonnegut Jnr, Mark Rothko, Roger McGough, Jack Kerouac and Jackson Pollock.

Get some David Robinson in your life.
