Welcome to my biography
Self trained in guitar since the age of 6,
David Blair (DB) joined his first band at the
age of 12 starting his music career. He
played countless shows around Regina at
local schools and children clubs.
He
landed his first break after being
chosen
as a finalist for CFCB’s Country
Song
Contest which got his song “I
Love My Dog” play time on local
radio.
David continued to expand his
talents and song
writing abilities including
formal training in
music reulting in a Degree in
Experimental
Music from the University of
Regina. On
graduation David moved
to Toronto to get
closer to the heart of
Canada’s music scene.
In Toronto DB mixed it
up playing clubs and music
festivals.
Seeking even more exposure to the
music scene DB then moved to
Montreal and hung our and played in Jazz
clubs absorbing everything he
could about music.
DB now had the inspiration to write his first complete
album and settled down to the task. 1 year to the day
his masterpiece was ready for public consumption.
“Bad Endings” opened to comercial success
selling 3000 copies in the first month.
“FortyFive” music magazine praised all of
the songs on “Bad Endings” for their unique
fusion of country and jazz flavours but
especially liked the single “Dead Beat”
saying
“never before has someone written so
closely from the heart!”
David continues to write and produce music and is planning on releasing his next album
“Just Getting Started” in 2012.
