Tell us a bit about yourself. Where you come from, where you’re going.

I’m a singer-songwriter who is currently mainly known for having the movie “War Dogs” made about my life (Miles Teller plays me, Jonah Hill plays my former partner). But these days I run a music technology company called Singular Sound.  I invented the BeatBuddy,  the world’s first drum machine in the form of a guitar pedal that allows you to control a beat hands free while you play your instrument!
 

The drummer in a guitar pedal, BeatBuddy has one many an award for its innovation.

What have been some of the biggest influences for you and your music? Where does your inspiration come from?

 My biggest musical influences have been Pink Floyd (psychedelic atmosphere), Simon & Garfunkel (harmonies), the grunge era bands (hard rock guitars) and country music (story form songwriting).  I am inspired by my experiences in life and try to write songs that have a message and meaning.
 

For those who haven’t heard your music, how would you describe your sound in one sentence?

 Story form psychedelic pop-rock with layered harmonies.

What’s your opinion on music streaming services such as Spotify and Pandora?

 I love it! Makes music consumption hassle free.  And what’s good for music lovers ends up being good for musicians too.
 

David’s story was the inspiration for the film “War Dogs” where he’s played by Miles Teller.

Do you have any advice for fans trying to make it in music?

 Just do what you love and never give up.  Passion makes all the difference.
 

BeatBuddy started as an IndieGoGo project; reaching its goal within a day and ending with over 450% of the original goal.

Got any upcoming events or projects we should be excited for?

 We will be releasing a brand new revolutionary product towards the end of this year — it’s still top secret, so stay tuned!
