by the time that you get home tonight 
you will be drenched 

burning sage 
or tagging on the bathroom walls 
we all need a way 
to make a sacred space 
away from saturated signals 
can you show me your solitude? 

no light escapes this place 
tune out the hum, sort out your echoes 
unclick the latches and be still 

no need to reconcile 

silver shimmer 
sinker, swimmer 
won't you let me hear you breathe? 
and come tomorrow morning 
if it's clear 
we can travel overground

drenched

An introverted guy that has a way with words, Marshall-stacked guitar tones, and a sophisticated Nashville storytelling fare—that is American multi-instrumentalist David Russell.

Born July 3, 2000, in Nashville, Tennessee, David was raised in a musical family, collaborating with his sister, Emmy Russell, and grandmother, Loretta Lynn. His father introduced him to key influences like Tom Petty and the Ramones.

On Christmas Day 2016, David began uploading original songs to SoundCloud, influenced by bands like Modern Baseball & Weezer. These songs have been self-released as part of his annual “Summer Hiatus” compilations. He didn’t fit into Nashville, but he often attended and hosted DIY shows.

After relocating to New York City in 2020, David formed the alternative bands that gained traction in 2022 with a 52-week residency at the Bitter End. In 2023, producer Billy Mannino (Oso Oso, Macseal) worked with the him and his band on their track “Breaking Down & Feeling Low,” released two years later under Doolittle on their debut EP Secret Saturday. In 2024, David joined Nordista Freeze on his tour, which motivated David to distribute his music, previously exclusively on SoundCloud.

In 2025, David released 200 songs and formed alternative band Doolittle with Nordista Freeze, Michael Massiah, Gemma Guttenberg, & Jason Ruiz. The upcoming Summer Hiatus ‘25 proves songwriting is his trade, doubling down on what he knows best — anthemic choruses and a memoir style penmanship.
