 David Porteous is a Canadian singer/songwriter and documentary filmmaker who currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
Now 24-years-old, David began writing music at age 11 and making his own films at the age of 12.

Since 1999, he has produced and recorded 19 independent music releases, including nine LPs and ten E.Ps, had his
first radio play on CBC Radio 2 at the age of 14, written numerous film scores, which includes an HBO pilot,
music for a nationwide run television commercial, has been nominated as an Olympic Torchbearer, was a CBC Sunday
"Spotlight Artist", a NOW Magazine "Critic's Pick", has a Honours Diploma in Sound Engineering and a Degree in
Documentary Filmmaking. And to top it off, David owns a small piece of Moon Rock.


David is currently working on a film and music project called War Music.
War Music is a documentary feature and a CD. In August 2006 David followed the footsteps of Canadian soldiers who fought during
World War Two. Through ten countries in Europe, David visited battlefields and cemeteries, all the while filming the entire journey
and writing music along the way.

"War Music is important to me because the history needs to be remembered. It's important to remember the sacrifices of those before us"
remarked David. "I wanted to share the history through my film and my music. And the songs ended up writing themselves, most of the
music was written and recorded in one take. I wrote over 35 songs by the end of the journey. It was a very moving experience, but how could
it not be? "

David is also getting a great response from War Music. Nick McCabe and Simon Jones of The Verve are supporters of the
project, both were wearing War Music support buttons after a recent show in Toronto. Nick McCabe said that David Porteous has "gone deep."
