Songs from the heart with creative lyrics & infectious melodies. 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 “Everything Is Awesome Today” with Alan Guy from The Grains, “Reunite The World” with Caspian Yurisich, “Free Like A Swan On Mill Pond” with The Outer Rim, "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 aka Ethereal from The Subwave Network UK.
I am the founder of Oxjam Bracknell and I organised it every year between 2014 and 2016 & raised about £3000 in total with all proceeds going towards the charity Oxfam. I performed at the event in 2016 with my friend Jo Connor aka Scent 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, but plan to open the box again at some point in the future & release our EP. I performed at Oxjam Newbury in October 2016 to a great reception. In November 2016 I performed at The Cellar Bar at South Hill Park in Bracknell to a warm local crowd. I also founded DPC Promotions & 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. One of my favourite gigs 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. There is a new album version of this that exists that will come out when my albums are ready. In August 2017 I performed for charity in aid of the Grenfell disaster at a venue in Catford, London. I also run my own 24/7 online radio station at http://discoverunsigned.airtime.pro there will be exclusive performances from me when it is updated later in 2023.
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, Tom Williams, Badly Drawn Boy, Tom Odell, Jake Bugg, 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. Also i'm a big fan of most of the music played on Absolute Radio and going to gigs & 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 & festivals then please email niceguydavemusic@gmx.com marked with subject “I am interested in supporting Nice Guy Dave” thank you.
Look forward to announcing more of the singles schedule soon later in 2023. Keep ‘em peeled, & never lose faith in me, or yourself.
I’ll get back to performing live in front of an audience later this year after most of my songs have all come out, including the ones I’m keeping back & not even revealed absolutely nothing about anywhere yet.. #releasesinglesthenperformlive
