David Peterson Harvey did not purposefully set out to be a music rebel. It's just something that happened. With an eclectic style and unusual music sensibility, David's music and lyrics follow their own muse. Born of David's personal experiences, his songs often bend the rules, touching on both the darker and lighter side of humanity.
David began studying guitar at age fourteen and found in it a consuming passion. When he had been playing for six months, he wrote his first song, "God Speed," which was used to close his self-titled, self-released debut Christian folk album in 1984.
Varied musical interests honed this songwriter/guitarist into a very eclectic musician. He released his second project, "Mechanical Man," in the mid '90s as part of the duo Musical Power House. While maintaining his passion for guitar in music, his use of synthesizer and electric guitar expanded his sound further into rock/pop genres with a sound that was uniquely his own. This album featured the R&B flavored, "Man Without a Dream."
At a later date, David began finishing old songs under the Musical Power House name, self-releasing two albums on CD format, "The Lost Tapes," and "Compilation."
After the addition of keyboardist Jadan Oliver, David returned to his roots when Musical Power House recorded the gospel album, "Ministry," to celebrate the new millenium. David's voice and guitar played a prominent role in the album's sound.
Today, David is completing production on his first feature length movie, "The Legend of Dirty Bum," as director and partnering with Jadan Oliver in music composition. David promises more songs and possibly a new album after the release of the movie on DVD in January 2007.
