At the age of twelve, Dave could be found on the floor of his bedroom, learning to play guitar to his brothers’ hand-me-down Beatles albums.

 

He drummed in the school band, and by high school, he'd discovered jazz and fallen in love with electric and upright bass. Fusion and progressive rock reigned supreme in his album collection and his formative influences included Geddy Lee of Rush, Chris Squire of Yes, and legendary fusion bassist, Stanley Clarke.

 

By the age of 21, he'd established himself as a successful touring and studio musician.
