Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, DD started playing piano as a child and switched over to bass guitar at the age 14. 2 short years later he was already playing the local bar scene. Since then, he has played countless shows across North America and shared the stage with many major label acts.
DD is a very energetic live performer, creative songwriter, a fast learner and efficient recording musician, who specialises in both pick or fingerstyle depending on the project requirements, which is why after relocating to New Orleans in 2014, he is called up to do sessions and fill in work in numerous genres from indie, hiphop, country, blues to metal.
Just as comfortable with bass direct as he is with multiple effects pedals. Constantly experimenting and pushing the sonic envelope he is quickly becoming known for using multiple amps, distortions and octaves for an incredible full bass and guitar sound from one instrument.
