David Powers Performance - 2nd Runner Up

Born and raised in the suburb of Westchester on the outskirts of New York City, David Powers has been a part of the tri-state music scene for quite some time, and has performed more than 500 gigs at some of the area's best venues. With influences that include everything from Stevie Wonder to Steve Vai to Led Zeppelin to Creed, Powers has become well-known and highly respected for his melodic and articulate, yet heavy guitar style.

While floating in and out of various projects, Power's dream has always been to have a solo career where he could solely express his musical ideas without compromise. When the time felt right, Powers dove in head first, and embarked on a five-year journey of perfectionism and musical manifestation that resulted in his founding of Starr Ridges Studios and MindRide
Records, and releasing his solo project, The Power of One.
