From the timeDave was a young child he grew up in his father’s recording studio beingexposed to the likes of Sammy Kahn,Rupert Holmes and Stevie Wonder.Being raised by nanny who was from Waycross Georgia, an eclectic dash ofsouthern culture was mixed into Dave’s persona. In a strange twist of fate, hissister Launa a gifted musician in her own right, lost her hearing by the timeshe was 14. Witnessing his sister’s struggles in a hearing world profoundlyaffected Dave. “After seeing my sister’s agony from being discriminated againstfor her condition I was determined to never let that kind of injustice happenagain in my presence. I always felt that one of my missions in life was to beable to communicate with people and to listen to them. It’s one of thebeautiful things about being a human being. We all want to connect with oneanother”. Nowhere is that feeling more evident than in Dave’s music. His giftof making his guitar talk combined with his uncanny way of weaving manydifferent styles of music together is an example of how we as humans are afabric of many different cultures and walks of life. Dave, “growing up in NYC Iwas exposed to so many different foods, music, cultures… It was truly a meltingpot of humanity. I believe I am the kind of artist that reflects what I see andwhat I’m exposed to. As a musician I was put on this this earth to spread joy,love and life to everyone. I try to do that what every note I play, with everylyric I write and sing. If I do anything less than that I feel like I’m lettingthe listener down”.



Dave’smusical path has been quite a journey, after attending Berklee College ofmusic, Dave was immersed in the NYC music scene as a first call guitarist andmulti instrumentalist. Dave, “ My Father made sure that I could play a lot ofdifferent instruments and styles so I could make a living. Unlike many bluesmusicians, I was raised to be a musical “hit man”. I got to do sessions withmany famous musicians and producers like Tommy James & Ahmed Ertegen (toname a few) and even was on staff of one of the top five jingle companies in NYLOOK MUSIC”. But Dave was more than just a craftsman, his passion for musiccould not be satisfied with just being a writer for hire. Dave, “ I made thedecision in 2006 that I was going to make a stand in my life. That I was goingto do what was really important to me. Honestly…. I was too scared in myyounger days! LOL! So I set out on m new career path, being Dave Fields theartist. Another thing was I had backed up and produced so many other artistsand one day it dawned on me, why am I doing this for everyone else? Why can’t Ido it FOR ME!”.
