Dave
Who
When I'm not yelling at my daughters to turn down the hip-hop, I'm the lead singer/vocalist/monkey for the Smugglin' Yo-Yo's.
Where
Before I joined Yo2, I was writing and producing a project with Tony Leach, called Planet Now. When I joined the band, they graciously agreed to play some of the material from the CD.
