Brazzaville, Matt Shulman

David Arthur Brown was born in Los Angeles in 1967; a runaway who became obsessed with low budget travel and poetry. He traveled through Asia, South America and Europe for many years, learning how to play the guitar and writing his first songs. Brazzaville's early years were spent largely in Los Angeles. With the exception of two East Coast tours in 2002, they did little touring due to David being on the road with Beck, an old friend from the East Hollywood coffeehouse scene of the early 90s. In 2003 David moved to Barcelona where he formed the European version of the band. In 2006, Brazzaville released their first CD recorded entirely in Barcelona, featuring Brady Lynch (bass), Paco Jordi (guitar), Richie Alvarez (keys) and Pep Terrecabras (drums). Since moving to Europe, Brazzaville has played Sold Out shows in Moscow, New York, Barcelona, Istanbul, and Amsterdam, and enjoy a cult following in many countries. Brazzaville has 2008 tours planned for Europe, Russia, China, Turkey and the USA. David currently lives in the Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona with his wife and two young children. He enjoys reading before bedtime.
