Description

David D Day is a talented musician whose interest in creating original music has been relentless from an early age. He was playing guitar at 11, already having learned to play the French horn. But he was never interested in playing songs recorded by other artists. He was bent on creating new music.

As his musicianship improved, he bought a synthesizer and took lessons to learn to play and operate it. As with other instruments, he picked up playing the electronic keyboard quickly. Then he acquired an electric piano and an organ and was well on his way to creating unique original compositions.

In high school, for a music composition course, he wrote an original score. "My project was based on mathematics," David says. "I would apply different equations to write the score." His teacher didn't like David's score, arguing that David did not follow basic rules of writing music. But David was not interested in rules. He told his teacher so, with resulted in a failure of the course.

This only drove David harder, inciting him to continue experimenting with music composition. For a long time this is all he did, and he did it alone.

Things changed when he met Steve Iannetti, a seasoned musician, who had built a studio and was working with other artists. The two hit it off and teamed up for a project. "We must have recorded over 50 songs in an eight-year period," David says about his collaborations with Iannetti. The result, going under the name David D. Day, was a CD, The Spent Souls, available on line.

David also worked as a roadie for the Marty Balin Band and in the music business with promoter Jon Jac Cade from Electric Factory Music in Philadelphia. The school of hard knocks made strong impressions on David, not all of them positive, and soon he left the music business, more battered than inspired.
