Surfer Dave

Surfer Dave invites listeners to let themselves disappear into a warmer world. Employing a jazz-influenced harmonic palette, decidedly off-grid percussion, and distinctive ASMR-like "found sounds" - Surfer Dave builds composed structures, rather than loop-driven beatmaking. Surfer Dave started writing songs at 12 years old - and fell in love with seeking out the most colorful and emotive chord progressions. Since then, he has created immersive and otherworldly spaces to escape into. Believing melody to be the purest form of communication, Surfer Dave offers a hug to listeners through the headphones. In addition to solo material released by Sleep Tales, Aviary Bridge, and “queen of lofi” eevee’s record label (Secret Souls), he is known for his work as the main producer for singer Criibaby (Friends of Friends), producing for rising lofi hip hop artist Pandaraps (Effortless Audio, Epidemic Sound), as well as collaborations with beatmakers like Somni, G Mills, Santpoort, and Joe Nora. Surfer Dave's catalogue has generated over 5 million streams across all platforms. "this is what heaven sounds like." - Stereofox “synth master.” -KQED
