I remember David Sneddon too. I enjoyed his relaxed attitude and raw talent - A star was born at Fame Academy that season. Too bad he prefers writing to performing.
Yes he did but it did come out in 2003 and David has been concentrating on songwriting since. Did release an EP two years ago which is still in the Indiestore Download chart after all this time. New unrecorded song Scars on here is beautiful. Have a listen
yea...I'm suprised how little views this video has! It's such a good song! he wrote it himself didn't he? I can vaguely remember it saying he did on a vt on fame academy?
Omg.. i soo miss him, he was amazing.. i used to be in love with him.. he has such an amazing voice that i've fallen in love with.. Phwoaarr... x <3 x
lol i saw steve jones asking amy mcdonald if sneddon influenced her and i was like wtf hus that then i saw him here...lol he was on fame academy and i literally havnt heard him since
Hi there. David works mainly as a songwriter at the moment. He's been writing for Universal and Polydor and he also writes witha nd mentors unsigned artists.He released an EP White Noise in January 2007 which has been in the Indiestore download chart ever since many months of that period at no1. Has new songs on here also. Check out Scars it's lovely.Batbint
They are both good singers. Daid's voice is pure and he has perfect pitch. F A were looking for the complete package. Singer.songwriter and musician. The media disliked the show as it was serious . The winner was always going to get bashed by the press whoever it was. Lemar couldn'twait to distance himself. As the only black soul singer around at the time he couldn't fail. Of the remaining three of top five, all signed to Mercury and were dropped within months.
you should read all the great comments to David's videos on here- David is a very talented singer and songwriter....and we all have different tastes obviously!
check out his new songs - his Ep has been in the indiestore charts for the past 6 months.
There was 'one winner' - chosen before the show - Lemar. He'd already been noticed on the London circuit (as had Leona Lewis of Pop Idol, a Brit school graduate) David won the votes on the show but did not receive good backing afterwards.
David is doing well as a songwriter in London now and enjoys his work.
He still plays gigs in London - and his EP has been top of the Indiestore charts in 2007 and 2008 = check out his new songs.
I prefer Lemar by a long way personally. I think in terms of talent, Lemar has bucket loads more than David - and that's why I think he should have won. It doesn't matter to me that Lemar had previously supported Usher and others, or that he'd had a brief record deal with BMG...imo Lemar was consistently the best over the course of the show and hence should have won it.
And I'm glad for Mr Sneddon that he's still in the music scene, but my point stands - the only success was Lemar really.
The FA show was deeply flawed -- it was neither Big Brother, Pop Idol or serious music show. All the students should have been put up for the vote on each weeks show imv. There is room in the music business of both soul singers like Lemar, and singer songwriters like David. They are very different artists.
Here's to them both having successes and a long career in the music business!
please check out David's new songs, Scars,My Plan, No One and Little Houses. They are all hree if you page down. Myspace has the beautiful Northern Lights as well. A truly gorgeous song
Inaccurate information! David is a successful songwriter with Universal music, and has had several chart hits for other artists. There are many big chart hits who can hardly sing, never mind play and write.
David is a successful songwriter - I agree he's the most amazing singer. He still gigs in London & his NEW EP WHITE NOISE was No 1 in Indiestore charts in 2007 and 2008 - check out his fab new songs on indiestore.
God he's mighty fine. Did he write this song? Why didn't he wanna be famous? He has a great voice, looks great and he could have gone further :) damit!
He is the best thing to ever come out of a talkent show. I cannotunderstand why he gave up on singing, he is too much of a great singer/songwriter for that. Let's have a new album!!
David has co-written international hit 'the Message' for soul singer Nate James, 'Baby Get Higher' a single chart hit for Dutch singer Van Velzen, and several songs for new artist Julian Perretta's debut album 2008. I have no exact details of the other hits songs he's written but he has had several songs picked up world wide. He is signed with Polydor to work with new signings.
Yes, he's from the Fame Academy! I loved that show! Watched it from the Netherlands on the BBC!
He won a appartment in London I think, and a contract! But after singing a short time he wanted to work behind the scenes again... wasn't a showman on stage! As long as we hear from him thru his songs... he's a great writer!
Hi Yes he won. Then, after a hit album and four hit singles he was offered a songwriting contract with Universal and decided to concentrate on thaat for a while. He is now also signed to Polydor to work with their new signings. He's had a lot of hits around the world for other artists. He still gigs when he takes a break from writing and is fantastic live. Check out his EP on indiestore
i just cant stop watching this, and how much my friend looks like him. Loads of people mistake him for this guy so i thought i would have a look at him and seriously he is the model of my friend, he has the same smile and same eyes and everything. His website is dizzipiskio by the way. I thought it was my friend when i first put the video on. Could be his long lost twin lol
One thing Fame Academy done that Xfactor will never do... find actual music talent... David Sneddon may have decided to write music for big names instead but thats a point fame Academy done... He played Instruments... wrote his songs AND Song live... not like the Cover artists that rely on other writers from the Xfactor XD
He's nothing like Leon. David writes his own and many other people's songs and is a very accomplished piano player. He has had many hits for other artists in the last two or three years as well as his own hit singles and album
from Batbint.David is still performing when he takes a break from writing. Check out Indiestore and download the brilliant EP he released there early this year. He has some beautiful new songs in the pipeline to record when he gets time
Do you have any idea who he writes songs for? I knew he stopped singing because he wanted to write songs indtead. Just no idea what songs he's written..
Im so glad he wont, but i woulda like to have seen more from him T_T but he writes songs for other people now...so...i guess hes doing what he wants now
I likes Sneddon, he seemed sincere
