When I was fourteen my father Koen De Cauter, since 'ever' a musician, started to give me some guitar lessons... and it suddenly took a life on its own. By the time I was eighteen I could manage to live from playing music. From the mid nineties, music playing became very intense: bands, gigs, projects, recordings, tours... 

After a while (...'round the turn of the millennium...) I realized I had to slow down a bit, and... there was so much more that I wanted to do. So I started to enjoy other things too: programming, organizing, recording, producing and my great passion: graphics. 

I also started a record-label called Spocus Records... (check: www.spocus.be or here on soundcloud). 
We're recording acoustic and organic music; jazz, classical, world, gypsy, musette... Producing and a lot of covers to make... great! 
We released five albums so far. 

On the other hand, playing music became such a essential part of my life that I just can't leave it behind me. One thing did change though: I don't care about genre or style anymore. From the moment I like the interpretation, something good is happening! And that's all that matters to me. 
Jazz, world, folk, classical... whatever 'we' do with it it's just notes that have to be played as good, honestly and beautifully as possible. 
In the end it's all love...

Playing guitar, singing and writing songs.

I've been collaborating with many great musicians like Peter Gabriel, Talk Talk, Scott Walker or Kate Bush to name some. And I've been touring and recording with my own band, The David Rhodes Band, with Ged Lynch and Charlie Jones. We recorded two albums so far, the first is called 'Bittersweet', the second somewhat inspirationally 'The David Rhodes Band' officially released on Glassville Records in 2014.
