Dave De Vita is a Swiss-Italian singer, songwriter, and vocal coach with over 18 years of experience in the international music industry.

He holds a Master’s Degree in Music (Singing, Performance, and Composition) from HEMU – Haute École de Musique in Lausanne, where he studied under renowned mentors and developed a strong foundation in both classical, Jazz and contemporary performance and music composition.

His artistic career spans live performance, songwriting, production, and theatre. Known for blending cinematic pop aesthetics with emotional storytelling and dynamic stage presence, Dave has performed across Europe in both intimate and large-scale settings.

His career highlights include multiple performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival, a live RTS television performance alongside James Blunt as guitarist and backing vocalist, and international touring work as part of the theatrical production Concours Européen de la Chanson Philosophique.

After years of collaboration with various bands and projects across Europe, Dave has re-centered his artistic focus under his own name, releasing original music and developing a live project that combines music, performance, and visual storytelling.
