Dave Ritz’ musical interests started at an early age. Influenced by his parent's choice of music, particularly his father's, Dave began playing piano in the 2nd grade. “I started to play Billy Joel, Elton John, Sting, and well, anything that was on the radio at the time.” Now, years later, Dave’s current influences consist of Tom Petty, Rob Thomas, John Mayer, the Dave Matthews Band, and many more.

By college, he stopped piano lessons and bought himself a guitar. Dave Matthews was his biggest inspiration at the time. It was during his college years that Dave learned how life on the road works. "I learned how to pack, how to travel, and how to interact with the crowds. It was a great experience.”

After college and a brief excursion in the corporate world, he pursued his music and performed everywhere until he managed to book the show that would change his life. On the 23rd of December at the House of Blues, he was approached by the producer, Tom Porter. Since then, his musical career has skyrocketed. After a successful tour, a team of the most talented people in the industry have been put together and are making Dave’s music an ongoing success.

“I am looking forward in continuing that road warrior mentality, and will continue to write songs and bring good times and good people into mine and others lives.”
