David is the co-founder of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop music and is the life of the party. I met David 10 years ago as his rap group was performing locally. Since then David has been around the block, moving to LA to pursue his dreams, getting married, having kids, and having his music placed in a Dreamworks movie. David is a self proclaimed “cry dad” (I am too) and is making rad content for his kids and yours. His new single “I Love Being a Dad” is out now and is fantastic!
