David Anthony Mehrer Jr

I was born in Stockton, California and grew up in a musical household. My Mom taught me the basics of reading music when I was a kid and I began playing instruments as soon as I got into elementary school.

As music became my passion, I pursued more than what was available in school. I had my first live performance at 11 years old with some friends but by the time I graduated high school I had the fortune of performing across California from basements and storage units to the Whisky a Go-Go in Los Angeles and local college recording studios.

With newfound freedom I wanted to surround myself with other musicians and better opportunities so I moved to Los Angeles where a neighbor involved in underground Electronic/Hip-Hop/Club scene taught me audio production and professional home recording while I performed around the city (including one of the last shows at the House of Blues in Hollywood and pilot for a music interview show). After a year or so of writing and performing around Los Angeles I met a musical hero of mine who had written some of my favorite music and had a Masters in Composition. We hit it off and became roommates shortly after where I was able to learn a lot from textbooks and spending time writing together.

Eventually I came back home to Northern California where I started a new project and began using my knowledge of production to create artist music. After playing around the Bay Area and Southern California I explored the Pacific Northwest which I immediately fell in love with. It’s been about 3 years now that I’ve consistently produced Rock/Metal tracks while working as a bassist for local Rock and Pop artists in Seattle.

In 2024 I began focusing on exploring production through the lens of TV and Film licensability which led me to my most recent productions, The World and All its Pleasures, a two artist music style acoustic Indie Rock tracks and my the release still in progress, my full album of Rock tracks created specifically for licensability in service to the visual medium.
