David Roberts
Born In Boston and grown up in Toronto, Canada. When he was 19 he got signed by WEA in Canada after they have heard one of his demosongs. The album were set to be recorded in Los Angeles supported by Toto members Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro and Mike Porcaro.
In 1982 he released "All Dressed Up", and it was the only album that he released, and today it is one of the masterpieces in the west coast music world. One of his songs "Anywhere You Run To" has later been covered by Diana Ross.
Around 1994 he prepared new demorecordings of songs to a comeback album, but these were never released. Later in 2003 he began to write music with the swedish guitarist Tommy Denander and this actually got David Roberts back on the track again, since he was featured on Frédéric Slama's AOR project album "Dreaming of L.A".
