As a songwriter Dave has written with the crème of Australian talent including Diesel, Ian Moss, Kate Ceberano, Rick Price, Brook McClymont, Shannon Noll, Wendy Matthews and many more. As a performer Dave has been lucky enough to share the stage with a “Lennon”. Perform with country music megastar Kris Kristofferson. Produce, tour and make a movie with Russell Crowe's 30 odd foot of Grunts. Wow.

Dave’s own band the Utopian Babies hit the top 40 in their own right with the radio friendly pop of “One Of These Days”. Dave also loved the front man job and toured extensively with Iconic Australian Rock Act Spy V Spy with highlight tours of Brazil.
