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.

Dhara is an amalgamation of four distinct creative forces. The differences in their musical backgrounds are actually larger than their similarities, but underneath lies a desire to create something potent, honest and compelling. Devoting their efforts to building an atmosphere as well as serving the song allows the quartet to present a unique listening experience. The band recognizes that instrumental music can be a truly limitless medium, and it allows them to pull from their vastly different influences and go on unique journeys in each song. The rhythm section is a force to be reckoned with, and the dual guitar front builds complementary layers on top, switching focus often but ultimately caving into the overall theme. Taking a DIY approach from day one, the band has recorded their own music, made two music videos and built a light show for a fuller live experience. Dhara are stepping forth with a burning desire to carve their own space in the music scene. Based in New York, the band has played venues in Long Island, Brooklyn and upstate and will continue to expand their radius. With a few local festivals under their belt, the band have set their sights on being an active musical force in New York and beyond. Their first EP dhara is currently streaming on all major platforms. With more music in the works, the band is excited to continue their musical storytelling in future releases.
