Bio: Since he was 5 years old, this powerful R&B crooner grew up standing in the shadows in the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, an area known for a musical style which combined elements of blues, gospel, swing, and pop – thumping beats which created a new dance that was instantly recognized. These sounds of Lake Erie and Lake Huron had enough energy to power a diesel engine and the unmistakable sound of The Temptations and the Four Tops soul music masters. David grew up watching the Gemini Twins (his Father’s and Eddie Kendrick’s) impeccable choreography, perfect harmony, and stylish suits which produced an avalanche of hits. Those were the sound tracks of his life. It set ablaze a web of fire and emotion in the small, doe eyed boy and gave birth to Ruffinism, David’s signature sound.
