Biography
Don't let his long golden dreadlocks fool you, David Kirton's sound and
aura is far from a 'typical' reggae artist. His music is a unique
hybrid of rock - pop and reggae that moves past the reverent Caribbean
rhythms of the past and on to the airwaves, dance floors and digital
devices of future. It sits comfortably in play lists surrounded by Jack
Johnson, Nora Jones, Sting, Bob Marley, Seal and Ben Harper. Kirton's
fans are not looking for Prison stories, hate messages or graphic sex
songs to download on their ipod. His music touches the heart, head and
feet, making you feel, think and dance.
Courted in the past by numerous major US labels Kirton chose to be part
of the new generation of artists who embraced the modern music business
model by owning his record label and publishing house. Developing his
music with producers, producing music videos and promotional material,
consistent touring and developing a fan base with out the backing of a
big label are all part of his journey. Far from sounding or looking
like a low budget project Kirton and his team have been able to pull
together an award winning album, three top quality music videos and a
Barrack Obama Time for Change Music video remix that rivals the quality
and vision of any high budget project done today. His label Bird's Eye
Music has distribution with Soul Kiss / Universal for Canada, Nova /
Pinnacle for the UK and The Orchard for digital. With these bases
covered Kirton is ready make his mark.http://www.davidkirton.com/biography.html
