Kudos
Chad Van De Keere, Director, "BEING IAN"
"Dave's ability to adapt a vocal to sound like he's been singing it forever is unbelievable. His range is second to none, and not to mention Dave's humorous out-takes from any session are often priceless!"
Dave Pierce - Producer, Arranger, Pianist Dave Pierce Music Corp.
"I have worked with David Steele for many years, in the studio and live, and he never fails to knock me out. He can add a spark to whatever he sings, has incredible range and his pitch is always right on. There is good reason he has been the #1 male studio singer in Vancouver for many years.' - David Sinclair, a guy who knows all the notes on the guitar and plays them regularly"
David Sinclair has played or recorded with Bachman Turner Overdrive/ Bryan Adams/ Sarah McLachlan/ kd lang/ Body Electric/ Straight Lines/ Valdy/ Daniel Powter
"David Steele is one of the finest vocalists I have ever worked with, both on the concert stage and in the studio. His voice is, simply put, a natural gift with a stunning range, versatility and soulfulness reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. He is first call for all my sessions whether it be commercials, voice-overs or for live vocals on my annual show, The Magic of Christmas."
Michael Creber, Film Composer, Pianist[kd lang], Producer[Raffi]
"Anyone needing a voice for their project would do well to make use of David Steele's considerable talent. I have continually been impressed by David's ability to make a song come alive, not only with spot-on pitch and phrasing but also with heart and soul, the qualities that move a technically brilliant performance into the stratosphere"
David Taylor - Bassist for Bryan Adams 1982-1999
"David Steele is ball of enthusiasm. He brings an amazing energy to every session he attends, that doesn't wane until hours after he's left the building. Oh, plus, he can sing the poop out of virtually anything. And I mean anything."
Peter Clarke Owner/Producer-- Griffiths Gibson & Ramsay Productions
"David has an emotionally riviting quality in his voice, whatever style you might be in - and his versatility is amazing. his professional savvy and experience cannot be denied. Working with him on tracks for Disney and various other organizations, I recall the powers that be always fell like dominoes after hearing demos with his voice on them! Plus I think his black truck was the coolest. Go get em !!!!"
Dave Pickell (producer, writer, studio owner, pianist)
"David Steele is one the most accomplished vocalists I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. His pitch is phenomenal and his expressive range is something to behold. His voice is distinctive yet he has the magical ability to sound like other well known singers as well; he is in possession of an amazing instrument. Very professional yet easy going, he is a joy to work with!"
Bill Runge-Producer/Arranger
"I have had know Dave Steele for 15 years. We have worked together numerous times, both in the studio and in live situations. He is in my opinion, one of the best vocalists in this country. His competence as a singer in the studio is particularly amazing. Working with David means picking the best takes, rather than comping numerous tracks together as is the case with even the best singers. David is pitch perfect and his attention to detail and his vast musical influences guarantee that his performance will do justice to whatever musical style he is asked to sing. David has mastered his craft, and hiring him in any vocal capacity promises a world class result. I am a professional published song writer and have had the opportunity to work with some of the best musicians in the world, and I have no hesitation in writing this testimonial. David is also a gifted writer and because of this, he has the ability to add a creative aspect to whatever he sings. His knowledge of various styles gives him the foundation to add authenticity to his tracks. If it's the blues that's required, David will sing the blues not just imitate them."

"I have worked with David for a number of years in a wide variety of music projects. First let me say that David is a music producer's guaranteed insurance policy. Particularly if the desired style of vocal is not clearly defined (by agency idiot) prior to the recording session, and we've all been through that. The, "I don't know what I want, but I'll know it when I hear it" routine. David's enormous versatility, authenticity,patience and huge talent, is legendary! David kills on high energy rock tracks or blistering ballads. I do a lot of song demos of my own as well as corporate music (Kawasaki Boeing, Pizza Hut) I always receive huge kudos for David's vocals from my clients both in the publishing and advertising biz. Words like 'passion', 'believable', 'feeling' 'soaring emotion' (two words) 'heart' 'real' 'edgy' (there's one we haven't heard lately) blah blah. Anyway....this guy is good...in fact as good as an unsigned rock star could get. Best of all, David makes me look good. And that, is why you want him on your tracks. Oh yeah, he's also funny."
Brian Hoot Gibson (Composer/Producer Vancouver BC)
"Having been in the music industry for over twenty-five years, sharing stages with the best of the best, Dave Steele is one of my all-time favorites. Both live and in the studio Dave is a true seasoned professional that's compassionate about his craft. I find Dave to be comfortable with any genre. A vocal chameleon of sorts with a range and ear that most studio singers would die for. On top of that... a great guy to have around."
