Dave Matthews, born in Johannesburg in South Africa is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the world famous Dave Matthews band and has also had a short stint in films by appearing in three feature films. After a few singing performances with local musicians in Charlottesville, Dave wanted to start his own band. The murder of Dave’s sister by her husband totally changed his attitude towards life. He dedicated his performance in Wetlands in New York to his sister Anne in 1994. Dave was at first very apprehensive about singing the songs by himself but later decided otherwise. He formed a band named Dave Matthews Band in 1991.
In late 2003 his solo album “Some Devil” was released and was tagged platinum. In 2004 he won the Grammy award for the song “Gravedigger”. He took part in “America: A Tribute to Heroes” and sang “Everyday” to show his tribute to the victims of September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. Dave’s show which was held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York along with Tim Reynolds in April 2007 has been a great success and for the first time the CDs & DVDs were released as a combinations et of Dave and Tim. Apart from singing Dave is into acting in movies, farming and charity.
