David Blamires was born in Yorkshire, England but grew up in London, Ontario.
David got his start in music as a very busy session vocalist in Toronto, singing on thousands of jingles, album recordings, and soundtracks. As a member of the U.S.-based Pat Metheny Group from 1986 to 1997, he appeared on three Grammy Award-winning albums and performed for multitudes of fans all over the world. During this time, he also recorded and released his own self-titled contemporary jazz album, The David Blamires Group, throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In 1997, David and his family moved from Toronto to Chicago, where he began working as a staff composer for a very successful music and audio production company. David writes and records music for TV and radio commercials, for clients such as American Airlines, Coors, Proctor & Gamble, McDonald’s, Kraft, and many more.
David performs regularly around the Chicago area, both as a solo artist and as a guest vocalist with Tributosaurus, a phenomenally successful tribute/cover band. David is the father of an AAA hockey-playing daughter, and is consequently never home and always broke.
