‘Beautiful…feel the hairs on your neck stand on end…Jeff Buckley meets Nick Drake’ (BBC Introducing).

‘Simply brilliant’ (The University paper).

‘A Nick Drake for the 21st Century’ (Newcastle Chronicle).

These are just some of the recent plaudits used to describe the music of Daviid aka David Smith, a unique singer­songwriter with a 4 octave range, who draws upon some of the world’s most admired acoustic artists for inspiration, yet creates a sound that is all his own.

David’s guitar style references the aforementioned Nick Drake with nods to other great guitarists such as Bert Jansch and John Martyn, with a playing style that is at once folksy, yet also urbane and sophisticated. David has an impressive ability on the guitar, creating spellbinding intricate patterns using a variety of complex tunings. Vocally David’s unique tone and soaring ability to work in multiple registers is already drawing comparisons to classic performers such as Jeff Buckley; singing on unusual, unexpected beats, and creating a wonderful, floating, atmospheric feel, a voice that is paradoxically fragile yet assured. David’s often haunting songs are a mélange of genres, taking in folk, pop, soul and even funk, and are reminiscent of classic songwriters such as Carole King and James Taylor ­ yet fusing the feel of Chic at times with nods to classic artists from every decade. David draws upon a diverse musical palette and will take us on a fascinating sonic journey.
