Originally from Dallas, Texas, David Allen Baker now calls southern
California home. A varied music career has taken him from Dallas to
Fairbanks (Alaska), Nashville, New York City and Los Angeles. He has
toured and performed as a vocalist with a number of artists, including
Robert John, Peter Rivera (of Rare Earth), the New Mamas and the Papas,
under the direction of John Phillips, the Surf City All-Stars featuring
Dean Torrance and others.
He performed
at Carnegie Hall in January 2000 debuting the album 'Sounds of a Better
World', performing with the likes of Martha Wash, Odetta, Jeffery Holder
and the Tokyo String Quartet. You can now hear Baker performing
regularly in and around the Los Angeles area.
Baker's recording career has consisted of innumerable song demos,
records, corporate industrial productions, TV promos, in-show
performances, radio jingles and TV advertisements ranging in styles from
country to rock to folk to R&B. He co-wrote the Asahi Beer ad campaign
for the Japanese market in 2002. Baker, along with disgustingly talented
producer / songwriter / instrumentalist and vocalist, Rick Cowling,
co-produced a solo CD for Baker in early 2002 entitled 'Ten For The
Road' and songs or adaptations from that CD have been used in promos for
NBC's Third Watch and in-show on NBC's Las Vegas. Baker has also been
heard as a vocalist on CBS's The Guardian and The Agency, as well as on
promos for the ABC show, Gideon's Crossing and in many cable television
productions.
