Part Time (stylized as PARTIME) is an American pop band fronted by California-based musician David Loca (also credited as David Speck).[6][1][7] It is named so because it began as a solo sideproject of Loca's, who had been performing with groups from Texas and Oklahoma.[8] He produces and writes all the output, with the exception of some material enlisting bandmates and friends.[6] AllMusic critic Tim Sendra describes the music as "equal parts psychedelic pop, soft rock, and primitive synth pop."[1]
Loca is originally from Florida, later moving to El Paso, and started his first band at the age 17.[9] The first Part Time recordings were made in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and were first issued on a label in 2011.[10] Albums until Spell #6 (2018) were recorded almost entirely by himself at his home.[1]
