David is spreading a positive vibration through his grooving, acoustic, folkedelicfunkpop melodies while exploring a myriad of textural soundscapes. His styles range from on voice with a guitar to elaborate orchestrations performed with everything from ancient gourd instruments to the latest electronics, all displayed on his two solo releases, DAVID (1999) & ONE LOVE (2001). David's love and interest of music spans almost all of his life from the beginning with a ukulele and piano lessons at age five to the high school band president excelling in both woodwind and brass instruments, through years at The University of Akron and Cuyahoga Community College studying jazz and electric bass as well as listening to his father play, sing and perform in Barbershop Quartets and Choruses for all his life. David has spent the last decade devoting his time and energy to performing at least 150 shows per year with a multitude of original musical acts throughout the Northeast, at the same time creating an original sound for himself. David's current projects include; being the founder of Waterband, the positive "folkedelicfunkpop" power trio, bassist/vocalist for Rebels Without Applause, a classic party band that's been a staple in Cleveland, creative visionary for Tall Crazy Dread, an all improvisation multi-media group and one third of the funky trio, The New Lamonts. Although David is well versed as a multi-instrumentalist his passion is the bass guitar,he spends a majority of his time instructing students in the art of bass guitar.
