While many up-and-comers look at the world like it’s their playground, David D’Angelo sees it for the paradise it is, and you can hear that. The San Francisco based producer and multi-instrumentalist lays down hypnotic, electronic soundscapes that transport the listener – and people are paying serious attention right out of the gate. His debut EP Born in Paradise – which leading New Zealand publication NZ Musician called “a surprising, well-constructed groovy set of tracks” – shot up the North American College & Community Radio Electronic and Top 200 Charts, taking the #4 spot in Electronic.

He’s opened for major Electronic and Jazz artists such as FKJ and Grammy-nominated Christian Scott among other notable talents, hopping between packed clubs in New Orleans and prominent festivals down in New Zealand. His upbringing saw him exposed to a range of genres in the home: classical music from his mother and traditional Peruvian stylings from his father. He’s grabbed from his bag of g-funk-inspired hip-hop production, smooth neo-soul piano, funky synths, and plucked out a dark, low-end groove for Durham, NC rapper Mayday on their collab and David’s recent release “Priceless Commodity.”

“Priceless Commodity” is 2020’s slow-burn banger anthem about the impact of climate change on global water supplies, and it’s arriving just in time. Water scarcity is a major global issue. Therefore, to be part of the solution, 25% of all proceeds from “Priceless Commodity” in the first year will be donated to Gravity Water, an initiative providing international communities with rainwater filtration systems.
