Assignment 3, The Lead
I am going to write/revise the lead for Dave Matthews.

The wikipedia article about Dave Matthews is well balanced in my opinion. The only part that is not given enough attention is the lead section. The other sections including early life, personal life, awards, etc. have plenty of information that is not summarized in the lead section. Each section needs to be outlined in the lead section.

Lead Section Rough Draft
REVISED 3/3

Dave Matthews

David John "Dave" Matthews (born January 9, 1967) is a South African-American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He is best known as the lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. Matthews was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved to Westchester County, New York when he was two years old. Matthews mainly performs with acoustic guitar which he started playing at age 9.

From 1991 to 2003, Matthews predominantly focused on songwriting and performing with the Dave Matthews Band, which he started in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. Since then, he has done various solo performances and records. The bands most recent album, Away from the World, released in 2012, made them the only group to have six consecutive studio albums debut at number one on the Billboard charts. During the period from 2000 to 2010, his band sold more tickets and earned more money than any other act in North America.

In addition to music, Dave Matthews has had multiple acting roles. Matthews has also won 2 Grammy Awards: one in 1997 for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group - "So Much to Say" and one in 2004 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance - "Gravedigger".


 * That's an excellent start. Some suggestions: 1. I assume it's not finished - you'll mention the second Grammy too, right? 2. Is he really known for his guitar playing? If it's true and documented with sources, you can keep it in, but change the sentence - right now it sounds like he started playing his talent, not his guitar, at age 9. But I also think he's better known for distinctive vocal style, no? 3. In the last sentence, you don't have to mention the name of the band again. Josef Horáček (talk) 04:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Good job. Short numerals should be spelled out. Josef Horáček (talk) 12:42, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
