His early musical experiences include performing, in his native Detroit, with Dr.

He also performed with members of the original Funk Brothers Motown House

band. Dave perfected his musical chops while residing in Los Angeles, New York

Upon arriving in Philly in the mid-nineties, Dave broke ground working with

international Djʼs King Britt and Josh Wink. He taught Jazz Improvisation and

private students, as an adjunct professor at Eastern University Music School,

while touring and performing, for over 10 years.

Dave continues to develop a fresh synthesis of musical styles from Jazz, Soul,

Rock, Latin, and Electronica. His infectious energy is apparent in his live

performances and recordings. Dave has two new records out on https://
