Early years

David spent time in London with his brother in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Together they became part of the local music scene and worked as studio musicians. London at the time was bustling in the music industry as a part of the now legendary "British invasion." David took work as a sideman for live performances. He remembers his brother making friends with Jimi Hendrix. David played with Rod Stewart, Sade, Billy Ocean and made friends with Paul McCartney. He recalls spending a weekend at McCartney's Scottish farm. The early fusion of ska, soul and rhythm and blues into what would become reggae was taking place at this time in London. Peter Tosh and Bob Marley were among the pioneers. David familiarized himself with the sound and the reggae musicians.^[1]
