Nice Guy Dave

Songs from the heart with creative lyrics & melody. Alternative acoustic indie pop rock full of meaning, tuneful & with real feelings. This is the music of a true nice guy, and true lyrics. Hi i'm Dave I live in England and i'm a singer-songwriter. I was born in Ascot in Berkshire in June 1977, and still live in my hometown of Bracknell, where many of my songs are influenced from. I'm a nice guy with quite an awesome music taste. My influences are eclectic and diverse, I just appreciate good songwriting and music I can connect to. I've been writing songs for over 20 years, now it's about time that my talent was shown to the world. Believe it or not I have written over 200 songs and I can be quite prolific. I will be recording my music it's coming soon i promise, it's my dream to be able to share it with the world one day! I am definitely open to collaboration with other artists to provide the musicianship, although i do play a bit of guitar and keyboard myself.

I mostly write lyrics from personal experience, the ups and downs, the highs and lows in life, and find it very therapeutic. And if it helps others too then great. I like to be positive and to be nice to others. Some songs that I have collaborated with other musicians so far include on "Miraculous Highs And Spectacular Lows", "Be With Me", "You Are Enough" and "Anxiety" with Mark Fletcher from the band Sectioned, "Positive Souls" with Jacob Maxwell and "Don't Look Back" with Waritsara Karlberg from The Subwave Network UK.

I am the founder of Oxjam Bracknell and I organised it every year between 2014 and 2016 with all proceeds going towards the charity Oxfam. I performed at the event in 2016 with my friend Jo Connor as Mystery Act doing a collaboration version we wrote together of my original song called "It'll Never Be The Way It was Before", currently on hiatus at the moment, both just working on solo material. I performed at Oxjam Newbury 2016 and I am helping out and probably performing there again this year. In November 2016 I performed at The Cellar Bar at South Hill Park in Bracknell to a good reception. I also founded DPC Promotions and have put on a few #DiscoverUnsigned gigs in the Berkshire + London area. I have performed at a few open mics nights, my favourite being at The Hideaway Bar in Tufnell Park, London hosted by Fern "Foxpalmer" McNulty. My favourite gig so far has been performing at the You Are Enough Festival at London Fields Brewery in July 2017 in aid of MQ mental health awareness charity as organised by Jonny Ryan, who joined in with the song I wrote specifically for the event. The song is available as a download at http://niceguydave.bandcamp.com/album/you-are-enough and I promise that 50% of whatever the song makes there will be donated to the mental health awareness charity MQ. Would love to record this song properly in the recording studio with a full band of musicians one day along with all of my best other ones.

Songwriting Influences are John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Fran Healy, Chris Martin, Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley, Des Lambert, Morrissey, Gary Lightbody, Ricky Wilson, Tom Speight, Jon Secada, George Michael, Lionel Richie, Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher etc. Bands I like include Travis, Coldplay, Keane, Some Velvet Morning, Ceasefire, Kings Of Leon, Oasis, Stereophonics, Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Imagine Dragons and also a local band I used to promote called BabyHowl from my hometown of Bracknell & got them some great gigs in London, including at O2 Academy Islington and Proud Camden. Also i'm a big fan of most of the music played on Absolute Radio and going to gigs and supporting local unsigned music.

If you would like to be considered to be a part of my live band or to help record more backing tracks from my many lyrics, or to collaborate or to discuss further future opportunities with live gigs and festivals then please email bracknelloxjam@gmail.com thank you.
