When did you discover that you had the gift to sing and who are some of your earliest influences?
When it comes to singing I always think there is room for improvement. I always want to develop my vocal ability. I’m my worst critic and sometimes I’ll be like “David that performance sucked!” I think it’s a good way to think of it so that you can progress. I’m completely in awe of artists such as Adele, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder. Michael Jackson, the classics.
As a songwriter, how do you deal with writer’s block?
Honestly… I leave it. I spent 5 years writing a song that won’t actually feature on the album but I’m releasing it this Summer. You have to take your time. Why rush? Music is a beautiful thing and if it doesn’t come from the heart how can you expect it touch the hearts of others?
As a fan of the Purge movies myself, I commend you on a very dope video for “Where Do We Go From Here”; who directed the visual and how long did it take to shoot?
Thank you so much! My best friend Robert Oliver West directed the video and I co-directed which was really fun. We planned for months prior to filming and love getting creative when it comes to music videos. It took us a day to film and it was so cold!
What do you enjoy most about performing live? Do you have a favourite song to perform?
Honestly I just love performing. Meeting those people who have supported me whether it be 5 years or 5 days. It’s such an inspiring and positive environment to be in. I wouldn’t say I have a favourite song to perform but I do enjoy mixing up my songs to give it a different feel every time I perform.
