David Brookings

David moved to Memphis from Richmond, Virginia in the summer of 2001 to be in a better music town. His first album 'Sounds off' was released in Richmond in 2000 and co-produced by his longtime friends Jason Horst (Jason and the vacations) and Josh Scolaro (Aircraft). In Memphis David works as a tour guide at the legendary Sun Studio (Elvis, Johny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis) during the day while constantly writing and playing gigs at night. 'End of an Error' (2003) was a great step forward in terms of songwriting and has recently been licensed by Starbucks to play in some of their 6000 stores worldwide. In 2005 'Chorus verses the bridge' was released, and David also married and had a daughter in that same year. In Feb 2007 David went on a solo acoustic tour of the United Kingdom, his first tour outside of the midsouth. He played dates in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford, Leicester and London along the way. His gig at the Cavern Club in Liverpool where the Beatles began their career marked a highlight in his young career. A month before the tour, his fourth album 'Obsessed' (2007) was released to the strongest reviews to date. 2007 also marked Davids' 4th year as a tour guide at Sun Studio, which has helped him out tremendously with meeting people from all over the world. As of March 2008, Brookings has sold just over 4,000 records on his own. See davidbrookings.net to learn more about this up and coming artist. Read more on Last.fm.
