David Kushner

BIOGRAPHY

“I talk to God and dance with Satan/I wish it was my imagination” “Flesh x Blood”

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist David Kushner’s epic, autobiographical, 17-song The Dichotomy, his full-length debut, tells the story of his own spiritual. philosophical and ultimately musical odyssey. The album takes us on a journey from alienation, despair and sin to a tentative acceptance of faith, while acknowledging that gnawing doubt will always exist. It’s a study in opposites, Kushner’s basso profundo vocals outlining a life in darkness, while a soaring falsetto offers glimpses of the divine light which continually beckons him. Like its title it is a study in opposites — God and Satan, light and darkness, good and evil, righteousness and sin, physical and spiritual, pleasure and pain — a meditation on mortality, internal conflict and the desire for awakening through revelation and transcendence.

“The music and songs came first, which led me to formulate the meaning of the full project,” explains the 24-year-old Chicago native, now living in Nashville, who built his multi-million social media presence on TikTok, first posting shirtless thirst-trap workout photos of his abs before segueing into giving life advice until finally embracing his destiny as a musician less than three years ago. [FULL BIO]
