Personal profile
My name is David Campbell Jr and I have been a music business professional for over twenty years. I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, and now currently reside in Decatur, Georgia. Since 2007 I've had over 150 of my songs recorded on major & Indie labels. My songs have featured on gold albums across Europe, and have spent 21 weeks at #1 on the official charts of Switzerland and Austria. I’ve also had several #1’s on the iTunes charts, as well as having tracks used in advertisements and TV shows. In 2013 I was the winner of the American Songwriter Magazine Lyric Contest. I pretty much write across the board and have had cuts in Pop, Country, Americana, R&B, Rock, Folk & Alternative genres – I’ve even had a song recorded by an opera quartet! Before making my living as a songwriter I was a professional drummer for 10 years and played with artists as diverse as Rod Stewart, The Scottish National Orchestra, Belle & Sebastian, Stomp and many others. Since 2014, I have also been employed as a stage manager at the annual Americana Music Festival in Nashville. Recently I have started teaching songwriting - both face-to-face and online via Skype - after being told by many people that there was a serious shortage of qualified tutors in this field. I've traveled extensively throughout Europe, Africa and The U.S.A. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports - especially Soccer & Formula One Motor Racing - practicing Tai Chi, and participating in the ancient Scottish art of Havering.
