David Robertsadmin2014-08-30T07:16:50+00:00
Canadian west coast artist…
Born In Boston and grown up in Toronto, Canada. When he was 19 he got signed by WEA in Canada after they have heard one of his demosongs. The album were set to be recorded in Los Angeles supported by Toto members Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro and Mike Porcaro.
In 1982 he released "All Dressed Up", and it was the only album that he released, and today it is one of the masterpieces in the west coast music world. One of his songs "Anywhere You Run To" has later been covered by Diana Ross.
Around 1994 he prepared new demo recordings of songs to a comeback album, but these were never released. Later in 2003 he began to write music with the Swedish guitarist Tommy Denander and this actually got David Roberts back on the track again, since he was featured on Frédéric Slama's AOR project album "Dreaming of L.A".
2008 was the year that brought David Roberts back again as solo artist. With an awesome album titled "Better Late Than Never" and followed up soon after with the album "The Missing Years" it actually took David Roberts 26 years to regain his popularity as west coast artists.
