Dave's first REAL band which included a collaborative effort was "THE ANSWER?'. which later underwent a name-change to become "ANUTABU" from 1984-1987.ANUTABU ended it's days in France and Dave quit the UK to live on the French Riviera in 1988,briefly touring with "YOYOYO". After a spell of dissillusionment with bands Dave went busking for 2 years in France and Switzerland before forming "ZAFRAMOON" (see top friends) with PAT ZAFRA see http://www.myspace.com/zaframoon. ZAFRAMOON played on for 9 years in France and Switzerland, south coast and Alps alternating summer and winter. In 1999 Dave went to SXM...St Martin/Sint Maarten after adopting the name MR SKIN (see top friends).

Dave begins recording a first "Unplugged" album in the autumn of 2008. Dave has signed his songs with the name LEO MOON ever since the beginning of his career.This name comes from his natal horoscope. He is more and more oriented to creating a different stage name for each distinct musical project..The Multiple-Personality Syndrome is far from finished!!!
