Dave McCullen was born David Vervoort in Belgium on December 28, 1977. He began DJing as early as the age of 16, playing in commercial clubs throughout the area. Before becoming widely known as an artist, McCullen worked at A&S Records as a producer, which is where he met longtime collaborator Peter Luts.
Together he and Luts produced a number of successful artists, including Ian Van Dahl and Roadblock, to name a few. An adept keyboard player, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, McCullen maintained a musical double life that began in 2001 with both his inaugural release as a DJ, entitled "Cocaine in my Brain" (Stomper), and his participation in Belgian dance/electronica trio Lasgo's debut record, Something (EMI).
As a member of Lasgo (a group which he started with Luts featuring vocalist Evi Goffin) David was an instant commercial success, hitting number five on national charts and winning a TMF Award for Best National Single. Already a hit record regionally (in countries such as Spain, Germany,Poland and Denmark), Some Things offered the group further success with its 2002 release in the U.K, Scotland,Brazil, Japan, USA, Russia, South Africa, China etc...
Though Lasgo's touring and promotion schedule kept McCullen busy, he continued to achieve as solo entity as well. His 2004 track "Bitch" became a breakthrough success on the club circuit. Generating a series of remixes and re-releases, the single earned McCullen a reputation as a creative force in the dance/electronica world, completely separate from his notable presence in pop music circles.
2009 seems also a promising year for Dave as a songwriter for several Belgian and international artists. Just recently released on Sinuz records is the new Peter Luts track 'Burning' which did excellent in clubs around the world and is now entering the Belgian single charts. Also a brand new project called 'the dum dum club' is about to jump into the charts with the very talented Dutch vocalist Robin Wong.
What more to expect? ....Dave is now working together with some very talented dj's, producers & Artists such as Dj Wout (Sylver Producer) ,Andy Jansens aka AJ Duncan (Kate Ryan producer), Flor Theeuwes (DHT feat Edmée), Annemie Coenen (Ian Van Dahl,Annagrace) ,Kristof M (Dj Tofmar) Peter Luts (Lasgo producer) Frank Van Brussel (DJ dex), Tanesha Walker (Vocalist),Ebby Drenthe (Autumn Leaves), Evi Goffin (Vocalist) , Edmée Daenen (DHT) etc...
