Hence, a musical collective that transcends the traditional boundaries of a band. Born in the heart of Berlin, Hence is not just about music; it's a community, a movement, a weaponised declaration of love to the power of coincidence and chance encounters.

At the genesis of Hence was a serendipitous meeting between Knuth and Daryl Bamonte. In an unexpected twist of fate, a casual conversation turned into a life-changing proposition: "Create a track, and I'll release it." Bamonte said that while lunch was being served in a Hotel Garden. This moment of happenstance didn't just birth a song; it birthed Hence.

Central to our philosophy is the concept of artistic freedom. Hence, it is not just a band; it’s a canvas for coincidence. It's an embrace of fate and modular thinking. We send a current into a machine, turn some knobs and suddenly, sounds emerge. The same goes for the collaboratory energy in Hence. New artists join not as mere contributors but as fully-fledged artistic influents, each given the liberty to mould and shape the music. This approach ensures that every Hence creation is imbued with diversity, echoing the myriad voices contributing to its making.

Breaking out from the north of England Dave Clark has been writing songs, singing
and playing guitar for as long as he can remember. Drawing inspiration from his 
personal, often quirky, perspective and creating songs that anyone can relate to.
Dave is sharing his personal journey, exploring his own emotions with intricate guitar 
alongside soulful vocals and beautiful arrangements. Centred on themes of 
introspection and longing in his own unique style and set against evocative and 
complex soundscapes the songs are eclectic and tuneful. 
Growing up in northern England Dave has moved up and down the country and is 
now based in East London. With a career in engineering, his music took a back foot 
but the itch was always there and he is now going all out, weaving his personal 
experiences into the lyrics bringing a depth to his songs not always heard in today’s
music world.
