David Taro spends most of his life in a box room in South London either doing his day job in publishing (boo!) or writing and producing music (yay!). #indie #pop #rock & #blues. Influences: the Beatles, Randy Newman, blues (various), Tom Waits, Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, The Band, Aimee Mann that kind of thing.

And, for anyone who’s interested, here’s a rundown of the current contents of the aforementioned box room in South London:

Interface: UAD Apollo Twin X

DAW: Logic Pro

Mics: Warm Audio WA-47; Shure SM7B, SM57 and SM58

Guitars: Gibson SG ’61 reissue and J45; Fender Japan Tele ’62 reissue and American Pro II P-bass; Gretsch electromatic lap steel; Cordoba C7 classical; Strymon Iridium amp sim and a load of other fun pedals

VSTs and plugins: Mainly UAD stuff; Ozone for mastering; Toontrack Superior Drummer 3*. But genuinely too many to mention (I have a problem)

*This is the only part of my recordings that I don’t technically ‘play’, everything else is 100% me.
