About
David Porteous
David
Porteous is a Canadian solo singer/songwriter, music producer,
filmmaker and multi-instrumentalist who currently resides in
Toronto, Canada.
To
say music is his life is an understatement. Now 31-years-old,
David began writing music at age 11, had his first radio play
on CBC Radio 2 at the age of 14, and has since created 31 solo
music releases.
David's
latest album, appropriatlely titled 31, was
recorded in his bedroom. "I began recording music when
I was around 15-years-old, and I quickly learned how liberating
recording music at home feels. I decided to record 31 in my
bedroom to relive that experience" said David. The artwork
features a photo of David taken by his mom, of him holding a
guitar when he was three years old. The album artwork features
a photo of David taken by his mother when he was 3-years-old.
Four
songs from the album 31 are featured in the
new film Boy Meets Girl, directed by Eric
Schaeffer. Schaffer is best known for films like If
Lucy Fell (starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller) and After
Fall, Winter. Boy Meets Girl premiered in New York January 2015
and has won over a thirty film festival awards.
David has never shied away from pushing himself creatively speaking.
Most recently he developed an innovative music video for the
deaf. By translating sound to colour and light, Porteous was
able to share his music with the deaf community. "It's
so compelling and intriguing…it takes the musical experience
to a whole other level" said Asha Tomlinson,
host of CBC News Now.
Over
the years David has toured extensively in Canada, the UK, Europe
and performed at top music festivals such as NXNE,
CMJ Music Marathon, Havnekulturfestival
Denmark, Music City North, Acoustic
Edinburgh, and Canadian Music Week.
His
passionate on-stage performances and lead guitar work have also
landed him opening slots with many talented artists, including
Emm Gryner, Peter Katz, Matthew
Barber, Neverending White Lights,
Rob Lamothe, Lindy, and Nellie
McKay.
