Stainedegos music consists of some of the most amazing songwriting and composition talent. David Starke is the driving force behind the musical journey, with his melodic memorable hooks, and poetic play on words. He is a self-taught musician, songwriter, and composer with a catalog of over one thousand stories in song. While many are recorded, some have been archived for future projects. It is a multi-influenced sound. The signature sound of Stainedegos.
Starke’s own personal musical expression of his inner dialogue, his art, his thoughts, his feelings. All blended together with life experiences, to produce the final result of his “stained ego.” Under the tutelage of his mentor and lifelong friend Bennie Sims (A world renowned bass player, teacher producer, and writer, owner of Boom Camp Studios), Starke has honed his writing, production, arrangement, and composition skills, as well as musicianship.
Starke grew up influenced by artists such as The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, The Doors, U2, and many R&B Motown artists such as The Commodores. Starke’s father, retired from the music scene, but helped influence and solidify the path he would take artistically. The goal of Stainedegos is to touch the world with light from within, through the projection of Starke’s words and music, which he channels from the universe. He wants to make the world a bit happier and more aware of universal love through harmonies.
In 2017, Starke worked on a new project with legendary producer, Jack Douglas, and the talented Warren Huart, at Spit Fire Studios in Hollywood, California. Most recently, Starke teamed up with industry icon, Robert Cuterella, to produce his latest works.
