DAVID FOX

David is an award-winning singer/songwriter whose introspective songs, poetic lyrics, and memorable melodies have drawn listener comparisons to the styles of Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. His topics range from the deeply personal to  the most pressing of social and political issues. David was born and raised in the industrial northeast city of Paterson, New Jersey. He recorded his earliest original songs at the age of seventeen where, during a chance meeting in the recording studio, his playing was praised by legendary blues musician Muddy Waters.

In his early years, David was signed by The Robert Stigwood Organisation, then managers of Eric Clapton, The Bee Gees, The Staples Singers, and John Mayall.  He was selected to play the part of George for a touring company of the Broadway show "Beatlemania", and opened for popular recording artists including Janis Joplin, David Bromberg, Brewer & Shipley, Bloodrock, and Rory Gallagher.

David was awarded Grand Prize in The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, an international competition, and his lyrics have won first prize in poetry competition. 

David was a member of the popular band Backseat Van Gogh, and has released three solo albums of original songs which he produced, and on which he sings, plays acoustic and electric guitar, piano, bass, drums, and various keyboards. He also wrote the book and nineteen songs for "North Star Rising", a children's musical play which teaches valuable life lessons in an entertaining way.

David's latest and third solo album titled “Reckoning”  has been called "An amazing album", and has  evoked adjectives like "beautiful", "awesome", "magnificent" and "truly outstanding".  The album contains thirteen introspective songs with finely crafted, authentic lyrics that express deep emotions and powerful commentary on today's social and political issues. Each track is thought provoking... personal yet universal... and very timely. Read the full reviews HERE.

David's second solo album "Driving by the Light of the Moon", is an introspective collection of twelve original songs about love, loss, and times gone by.  The album includes his song "Paterson" about the place and time of his youth.  Of the song "Paterson", TV and radio personality “Uncle Floyd” Vivino said, “It’s unbelievable, this masterpiece he made called ‘Paterson'… if you haven’t heard this yet, you’re in for a real treat.”  

In 2012, David released his first solo album "Scratches and Dust" about which Music Reviewer Alec Cunningham said, "If you were to trap The Beatles and the Beach Boys during their prime in a recording studio, the result would be a sound much like David Fox's."
