David James Sweet

David James Sweet is originally from the Central New York area. For the past 30 years, David has been writing electronic music and experimenting with new sounds and concepts. In the mid 90's, he was keyboardist with the Binghamton NY based punk band Punch Drunk Monkeys. David is currently keyboardist with the Progressive-Rock / World Fusion band Anubis Spire.

In 1980, David tragically lost 4 fingers on his right hand in an industrial accident. Many musicians would have considered this to be the end of their career, but David's continued determination to create music and deep desire to write and perform prevailed.

Dave's philosophy is that simple is best and he proves this by applying a simple approach to the songs he writes. Lavish orchestration and integral strength does not need to be complex. Pure sound plus pure power, combined with a sensational stage presentation, showcases the music as well as the musician. Combining these concepts into the realm of magick and the mystical atmosphere of New Age & Electronic Rock makes the music a unique experience, where musical reality and fantasy are one.
