d4vd

David Anthony Burke is known professionally as d4vd. The singer-songwriter emerged only one year after he began writing and recording music - alone in his sister's closet in Houston, Texas. 

d4vd gained his eclectic taste in Rap and Indie music from internet wormholes and fan-made Fortnite videos on YouTube, which he also started creating as a homeschooled teenager. 

As an avid player who has amassed over fifty thousand subscribers on his gaming channel, he noticed that the songs in his game montages were getting copyright strikes, and his mother suggested that he should write his own original music as a solution. This motivated d4vd to start recording his own tracks on the music-making app called BandLab. 

His releases to date range from Indie/Alt to Pop to R&B, and the 18-year-old scored a breakout hit in summer 2022 with the melancholic indie rock song "Romantic Homicide," whose brutally honest lyrics about heartbreak and resentment connected with hundreds of thousands of listeners. The song, recorded entirely on an iPhone, became his breakthrough, reaching 34* on the Hot 100 chart. This led to his signing to Darkroom/Interscope before d4vd even graduated high school. His debut headline spring tour, 'The Root of it All', sold-out within 30 minutes of going on sale. 

His latest release is the beachy ballad, "Here With Me".
