After finishing my Bachelor's of Music in Guitar Performance and Composition at Loyola University New Orleans (2003), I have been passionately performing, recording, and teaching music across the US, Europe, and Asia. With over two hours of studio quality tracks, my music draws from many inspirational sources (from Bach to Led Zeppelin), creating a genre that bridges the gap between classical and contemporary sounds (I call it 'Modern Opus'). I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Edinburgh (Aug. 2006) after researching the connections between music and language. In this regard, many of my compositions are instrumental, endeavoring to communicate with the listener via the universal medium of music. My song lyrics address issues of love and life from an introspective, philosophical and approachable perspective, always ensuring that the music is tightly integrated with the text. Enjoy in good company and best wishes to you dear listener. David Houston

After finishing my Bachelor's of Music in Guitar Performance and Composition at Loyola University New Orleans ('03 Magna cum Laude), I have been passionately performing, recording, and teaching music across the United States, Europe, and Sri Lanka. I recently finished my Master's degree at the University of Edinburgh (Aug. 2006) in Linguistics after researching the similarities and differences between music and language. Many of my compositions are instrumental, speaking to the listener via the universal communicative and emotional channels of music. My song lyrics address issues of love and life from a very introspective and philosophical perspective, always ensuring that the music is fully integrated with the text.
