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.

Wow, it’s incredible how much things have changed since I started writing music 6 years ago. I think I had just turned 15 when I started releasing and thinking about how to produce music. I had no idea what I was doing, but I did have fun trying different sounds and trying to emulate parts of the music I already liked, even though it was far from perfect there’s a couple songs I am still proud of but have found myself especially these last few years not connected to the music or image I made as teenager. I had a goal of releasing an album by the time I was 18, I did and even though I don’t relate to the songs I wrote at that time anymore I can’t regret that. I still love writing and music as much as ever, and have realized with time I’m a much happier person when i’m creating, singing and listening to music. 

I appreciate you reading this and those of you who have supported me. if you want to keep following my music you can find me here.
