Episode #9 - David Dyson

Friday, July 4, 2025 • Duration 01:10:16

Originally born in South Dakota, David Dyson and his family relocated to Washington D.C. when he was just 2 years old. While attending public school in D.C. he began playing the baritone and was acknowledged for his budding talent. However at the age of 12, after hearing LArry graham play bass, the urge was (understandably) too strong and the baritone was replaced with a beginner's bass guitar that his parents bought for him.

That gift set off a brilliant music career with David rapidly excelling at his new instrument and being named "band member" of the year in his high school band. After leaving high school, David attended Berklee College of Music where he was exposed to a wide array of music and made many friendships that have lasted through to this day.

David has performed with a myriad of artists across multiple genres including Pieces of a Dream, Gerald Albright, Meshell Ndegeocello, New Kids on the Block, Lonnie Liston Smith, Steve Coleman and the Five Elements, George Duke, Lalah Hathaway, Jonathan Butler and many others.

David is also a solo artist and has released 3 albums that are a must listen for any bass player. The releases are entitled "Soulmates", "The Dawning" and "Unleashed". His unique "mute picking" style gives him a distinct sound that makes his playing instantly recognizable, and damn is it funky too!

Kick back and relax while we talk about everything from Berklee to NKOTB to dealing with setbacks, signature gear and more.
