David Berkeley

David Berkeley, born David Berkeley Friedland on 22 September 1976 in New Jersey, is an American singer and songwriter.
He has released four studio albums, one live album and has published a book,〔 all of them self-produced under the ''Straw Man'' label, in a recording career that began in 2002.
Berkeley accompanies his singing on acoustic guitar, solo or with supporting instruments; his music has been described as acoustic, indie and Americana. He is also known for collaborating with trance music artists on remixes of his own songs and on original material.
After growing up in his native New Jersey and graduating from Harvard he has lived in several areas of the USA working as a tour guide, a travel writer and a teacher amongst other employments. After the starting of his career as a professional musician he moved first to Atlanta and then to Tralonca, a small village in Corsica. He now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The places he lived in are a strong inspiration for his songwriting, as are the people in his family (his parents, his wife and his two children).
==Biography==
David Berkeley was born David Berkeley Friedland in September, 1976. His parents gave him the middle name Berkeley—which he later picked as his stage name—after having been graduate students at the University of California-Berkeley in the early 1970s before they moved to New Jersey.〔
David started showing a passion for singing while still in nursery school, having attended a musical school. Because of this he had his first experience of singing on stage at the age of three or four. Also when he was four, the woman taking care of him was an Avon saleswoman; she would bring him with her while going door to door, and he would sing to her potential customers. In an interview he credits receiving cookies and applause for singing "that song about the Titanic sinking" (likely "The Titanic") as an early experience of positive feedback.〔 His parents helped him nurture his passion for music by taking him to several Broadway shows, and was usually selected as the leading vocalist in high school musicals.〔 Initially he played tuba,〔 and did not start to play guitar until the age of 15〔 when he would perform songs by Neil Young, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Grateful Dead "mostly to get girls".
He graduated from Harvard with degrees in literature and philosophy.〔 During his time there he used to busk in Harvard Square; in the same period he started writing songs〔 "to win (his) girlfriend back".〔
David Berkeley lived in Alaska, where he contributed to the ''Let's Go Alaska'' travel guide;〔 Idaho, where he was a river-rafting guide; Santa Fe, where he worked for ''Outside'' magazine; Santa Cruz; Brooklyn (New York), teaching creative writing in a public school in an impoverished area; Atlanta and Tralonca, a small village in Corsica, while his wife worked on her PhD in anthropology.
While living in Santa Fe, David Berkeley managed a local band. This, in his own words, got him "excited about the music business". It was only after this band broke up that he decided to record his own music.
He decided to become a full-time musician while he was teaching in Brooklyn, as having a double career was taking its toll on his voice and his private life.〔
He presently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife Sarah and sons Jackson and Noah.〔
