When he was still a high school student, he became a member of The Bluebirds, playing rhythm guitar. To get experience, The Bluebirds played for free at school events and in community centres. The band built up a small circle of passionate fans. Dave's big break came when, on his 18th birthday, he was asked to become the drummer for Black Swan.
