Hey, it’s me, DAVIDD, your favourite, mildly unhinged singer-songwriter from the South of England. I was led to believe that the only way to “find my people” was hurling 15 second, lip-sync clips into the social media abyss. F**k that! Here’s something you can hold instead:
Why?
I want my music to truly resonate with you. For that to happen, I believe we need more of a relationship than just me cavorting in vertical video. I want to share my story. I feel like this is a cool way to begin. I want to connect with the people who actually get it. Hopefully that’s you… OK, last chance to grab your CD before story time!
Still here?
Cool! So, I have always made music. I remember sneaking away from family walks, as a very little kid, singing to myself, making up nothing-songs, frantically hiding from any passersby. I was fifteen when I finally picked up the guitar, painfully shy and desperate to be cool, and began recording music soon after. YouTube had just appeared, and I quickly gained thousands of followers, and tens of thousands of streams, but then I went to uni and spiralled…
Too good to be true…
After white knuckling my way to a 2-1, and escaping with a thin sliver of sanity intact, I recorded my debut EP “Impulses”, at The Lodge studios in Northampton. I had just got a manager with some pretty big connections. We pressed a tonne of CDs. It was going to be my “big break”, the usual nonsense…
off the record
Shock of all shocks, some pretty f***ed up events conspired to make that impossible. I won’t go into detail here, that’ll be saved for off the record. But, long story short, I came to pieces. Within a year I was homeless, couch-surfing, zero direction, utterly out of my mind. It has taken the following decade to put myself back together. Music has been the catalyst.
Sharing this CD with you is the conclusion of a long, and i mean LOOOOOOOOONG period of healing. This is incredibly important to me. It’s symbolic. I’d love for you to be part of it.
