Overview

I play a unique selection of songs from the 60s to the 90s with an emphasis on 80s New Wave. You'll hear classics from bands like The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Oingo Boingo, etc. I have originals, too. I am told that my voice is Morrissey-esque. If you love Alternative, Rock, Post-Punk, and New Wave, but, need solo singer-songwriter, I'm your man.

Perfect!

David James was perfect! David James played new wave music and his versions were beautiful.
Most importantly he was kind, and respectful of our neurodivergent audience.
Book him! 😎

About

I picked up the bass guitar first, then started writing songs on the acoustic guitar. I was hooked and started learning my favorite songs! I was born in East L.A. and now live in Riverside, CA.
