Dave "Lem The Mad Vocalist" Lemon was born and raised on the west bank of the musically enriched city of New Orleans.  Dave's smooth and sensual style reflects the influence this musical mecca had on him growing up, and living in the birth place of jazz, it was only natural that it would have a large impact on the way he would make music for years to come.  Music flowed through the soul of Dave at a very young age. It would not be strange to hear him in the back seat of his mom's car singing along to all his favorite tunes, trying to out do the radio.
 
He started at the age of nine singing in the Third Emmanuel Baptist Church Youth Choir, located in Bridge City, Louisiana.  This is where he began to build his musical foundation and really discovered his GOD given talent to move people with his voice.  For Dave, music was, and still is his deepest passion.  In middle school, he formed his first singing group with some of his friends from the neighborhood. They dubbed themselves "Smooth Material".  This is where Dave Learned about harmony, blending, and working with a group of people to make one beautiful sound.  While performing with Smooth Material he competed in, and won talent competitions across the state of Louisiana. He later formed groups with a list of named artists such as _________ (to name a few), and used these opportunities to continue to work on his craft, and hone his skills.  Dave soon discovered another one of his abilities: writing songs.  He often used this as an outlet to express his feelings.
 
 His junior year of high school he joined the John Ehret Senior High School Chorus, where he received training in classical music, chord structures, how to read music, and the very science of music itself.  He used these tools to further advance his natural gifts.  Dave's next venture into the world of music was joining the R.A.M.S. (Raymond Anthony Myles Singers).  Joining this group would change the way Dave viewed music for the rest of his life.  This group consisted of the best singers the city of New Orleans had to offer, and the late Raymond Myles was one of the world's true musical geniuses.  Under the direction of the great Raymond Myles, Dave took his talents to a level far beyond his wildest dreams.  Traveling the world with Raymond had given him the experience that he needed to go forth and follow his dreams of getting into the industry of music.  Tragically, Raymond was murdered in 1998.
 
Frustrated and saddened by the senseless death of Raymond Myles, Dave joined the Army and moved to Fairbanks, Alaska.  Thinking that he was totally done with music, he found his inspiration again in a chance meeting with a man by the name of Tyrone Nero.  After a brief conversation, Dave and Tyrone both discovered they shared the same passion for music, and the same desire to make a mark in the music industry.  They came together to from a company named Tundra Entertainment, on which they released two underground albums:  "The Wait is Over" and "The Mad Vocalist".
 
Due to his military obligations, Dave was somewhat held back from fully seeking his dream of full time performing until 2006 when he served as a member of the U.S.A. Express Band.  This is a group of soldiers with musical talents who travel the globe to include combat zones to bring music and joy to soldiers and their families.  After that he was selected as a member of the 2007 Soldier Show where he again traveled the globe.  After nine long months of touring, Dave was ready to return to Anchorage, Alaska and get back to work on music and drawing attention to music in the state of Alaska.  He formed a group named "Synergy" that took Alaska by storm, becoming the first artist in Alaska history to get in the regular radio rotation.
 
After leaving Alaska, Dave returned home to New Orleans.  He quickly gained prestige on the music scene in the city, performing at all the best venues including: Harrah's Casino, Sweet Lorraine's, The Wine Bistro, The Jazz Fest, The 12 Bar and many more. In addition to these ventures, Dave is currently working on his 3rd independent release.
