9 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DAVID DIMUZIO...

1. I wrote my first real song when I was 11 years old because I had a huge crush on a girl at camp. My heroes growing up where my favorite musicians, and that seemed to be what they did. I sang her the song after we attended the "summer camp dance" then timidly asked if I could kiss her, she said yes, and then we kissed each other on the cheek ...I realized I was on to something.

2. I'm a selectatarian (I eat things other than vegetables, but I'm "selectable", hehe) Watch the movie "Food Inc." ...it's AMAZING!

3. Love your neighbor as yourself, but love your siblings even more.

4. My favorite singer is Billy Joel and my favorite band is Bon Jovi. I want to write songs like Billy Joel...and look like Jon Bon Jovi.

5. I believe in people. I think it's better to naively trust and get hurt or disappointed sometimes than to constantly keep ones guard up.

6. I slept in my car for two years ...fortunately never because I had to, but because there's a certain amount of freedom that comes with knowing you can live out of your car.

7. When I was 16 I won the International Jugglers Association 'World Championships". Juggling and competing in the World Championships gave me something tangible that I could hold on to throughout a rough childhood. I liked the fact that with enough work I could "defy gravity". I also love the song "Defying Gravity" from the musical "Wicked".
