Multi-talented Contemporary & Nu-Jazz, Neo~Fusion, R&B,Nu~Soul guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger,multi-instrumentalist, and recording studio engineer David P.Stevens invites you to take a musical journey with him through the “The DPS Experience”.
“The DPS Experience” deftly incorporates elements of the modern jazz, R&B, soul, dance, hip-hop, rock, blues, and pop,resulting in a signature sound that embodies the legacy of The Sounds of Philadelphia’s own Gamble & Huff, Thom Bell,
MFSB, Dexter Wansel, Grover Washington Jr., Roy Ayers,Baker-Harris- Baker productions, vocal elements of The Jones Girls, touches of Salsoul Orchestra, the creamy retro~soul of Norman Connors, the expansiveness of Ronnie & Herbert Laws, vibes of Roy Ayers, and the eclectic
nuances of Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Chuck Loeb, Larry Carlton, Paul Jackson Jr., Norman Brown, the gospel riches of Dottie Rambo, the rock edges of Slash, and the musical production & coordination chops inspired from the school of The Q: Mr. Quincy Jones & super producer George Duke.
Raised in the City of Brotherly Love when Philadelphia International Records dominated the pop and R&B charts,David got his start playing music as an adolescent. Within a
few years, with help from his musical mentors Darryl Johnson & Fred Cooper, David would begin playing piano and guitar, writing, recording and playing music professionally. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts, David moved to Nashville,
where he produced songs for many artists regularly
performing in some of the city’s more notable venues;ultimately becoming the lead guitarist in the house band for the Trinity Broadcasting Network. David, on his quest to
refine his skills revisited Philly once more, and Detroit - The Motor City, before ultimately declaring his home- base in Philadelphia.
