David M. Western
Day-dreaming, whimsical and deft. A young country boy David M. Western delivers a special new sound with quiet profound lyricism and powerful, distinct musical arrangements. Born and raised in the shadows of The Grampians, Victoria, David honed his performance skills playing the local pubs before even considering becoming this strange, ethereal, ghostly thing - a ‘songwriter’. Now, having only been writing songs for some five years, it’s alarming that he has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s up and coming artists.
Since playing shows in Melbourne in 2015, David has been catapulted to the forefront of Australia’s songwriter scene as he continues to interrogate what it means to be a
songwriter. Always searching for ways to take strange ideas and make them work, David’s next step is the release of his latest single ‘Instant Life’.
With only two singles released to his name; 'Step On My Toes' the DIY, one-take shedding of fears about floating through life; and 'Gallery', the lush, expansive and harsh lambasting of ‘phony culture’. These tracks alone have garnered praise from the music industry and sent him to sharing the stage with some of Australia’s finest songwriters (Julia Jacklin, Spacey Jane, Rat!Hammock, Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird).
