Bio
David Aaron is a 22 year old New York City-based musician who in the last 2 years has started to make a name for himself. This Week in New York describes David Aaron's music as "wholly original, not derivative…” Demouniverse.com hails Aaron's "appealing melodies, thoughtful lyricism, and solid guitar work." As a childhood alto saxophone soloist in his native Brooklyn , NY , Aaron explored the power of big band and bebop music in school ensembles. As he was exposed to blues and rock, David gradually switched his focus to the guitar and bass. After playing with various pickup groups through high school, he entered Five Towns College of Music, where he currently studies jazz and recording technology. From 1999-2001, he cut 3 albums for mp3.com . These recordings were well received, generating several thousand downloads from this pioneering website. In 2002, Aaron, now based in Astoria , NY , released his first independently produced and distributed collection, The Patchwork EP , to favorable reviews:
"David Aaron has attacked power pop and grunge and forced them to get along ... The guitar is inventive and poetic. ..." Clint Gaige, Gods of Music
"Smooth vocals, smooth transitions from the verses into a hooky chorus full of potential Top 40 splendor...killer arrangement and performance." mp3magazine.net "
