David Doll is a North London, UK artist who recorded an album in 2007. His material pulls together all the best elements of pop both past and present resulting in a dazzling set of clever, diverse, melodic and infectious songs that carry the definite stamp of class. “I’m a big fan of musical diversity. It’s so easy to get bored when you hear a new record because a lot of the time it sounds like it’s been made to a blueprint, with each one sounding like the one before. I try and work to the idea that it doesn’t really matter about the musical style of a song, the fact I’ve written it and am singing it, means that there is a common thread through the whole record which holds it together, and makes you want to listen to it again and again” say David. “I try to not wear my musical influences too much on my sleeve, but sometimes it’s impossible to escape. Hopefully, I manage to take more of the essence of people whose music I have loved, mix it up a bit and spit it out as a great David Doll song rather than an ok rip off of whoever.”
David has been together with his current band for little under a year and they are fast becoming a fearsome live proposition adding a sharp, muscular edge to David’s recorded material. “Surrounding yourself with people that make you comfortable when you play is really important, this current line up certainly does that” David says. Audiences seem to agree too and David Doll is picking up fans both domestically and international by strong word of mouth.
David has recently turned is solo project into a fully fledged band Automat and his debut album Headsets For Jets will now be released under the Automat name. Official Website: http://DavidDoll.com |
