Canadian born, Virginia bred, David lived with a heart full of music from an early age. At only eight years old he began composing songs at the piano, inspired by Scott Joplin and early Ragtime jazz musicians. As he grew, so too did the songs that consumed him. Relief came only when he put pen to paper to write the music that would eventually shape his creative sound and distinct style. David spent his early school years obsessively arranging and rearranging his compositions during classes. Spacing out in class and composing full songs on the back of math homework was a daily affair. After school he began picking up other instruments; guitar, bass guitar, and saxophone and recording himself sing and play all of them.
Despite his academic indifference, the power of David’s writing got him into the University of Virginia. Here, he refined his sound as a record producer. He began incorporating his signature drum tracks and style into Beyoncé songs. The remixes were a hit and the sound caught on. Before he knew it, David was sitting in front of Beyoncé’s father, music industry mogul Matthew Knowles, CEO of Music World Entertainment. After hearing David’s original material and songwriting the company took full interest in him as a writer as well as a record producer. David graduated and relocated to New York City where he has been writing songs and producing tracks for a wide range of artists. He tours and performs, having shared stages with artists ranging from American Idol’s Constantine Maroulis to the hip-hop legend & hall of fame inductee Doug E. Fresh. David’s debut album, True Story, can be purchased on Amazon.com and on iTunes in the US, Canada, UK/European Union, Australia/N.Z. and Japan.
Apart from music, David appears regularly on the daytime soap opera, “All My Children,” and has made several appearances on both “The Tyra Banks Show” and on “Sex and the City.” He has also modeled in a wide range of campaigns for clothing companies such as Club Monaco and Burlington Coat Factory, and has appeared in many commercial print advertisements. He was the first ever commercial model for the familiar fruit juice drink, Capri Sun, and appears in commercial spots for Anheuser-Busch as the official mixologist for the popular beverage, Bud Light Lime.

Verse 1:
Girl you're creepin' around me
And I know
You're sleepin' without me
I saw you through his window
Tonight is just another time, another time, another time…
Chorus 1:
Cause when you're gone
I don't tell you what I do girl
When you're gone
I'm creepin' with your whole crew girl
Baby, baby, baby
Keep creepin' on too
Cause when you're gone
You know I'm creepin' on you
Verse 2:
Girl there're so many people
In this world
There's nothing special about you
You're just another girl
I used to think I wanted nobody else, nobody else but you
But I can play your game too
Chorus 2:
Cause when you're gone
I don't tell you what I do girl
When you're gone
Creepin' on me, I'm creepin' on you girl
When everything was right you made things wrong

Baby, baby keep creepin' on

You're all I ever wanted but you're gone
Baby, baby keep creepin' on!

Line by Line Meaning
Girl you're creepin' around me
You're always near me even when I don't want you around
And I know
I'm aware of your presence
You're sleepin' without me
You're not interested in being with me physically
I saw you through his window
I spotted you with someone else
Tonight is just another time, another time, another time…
This is not the first time you've disappointed me by being with someone else
I can't wait to be without you!
I'm looking forward to getting over you
Cause when you're gone
Whenever you're not around
I don't tell you what I do girl
I keep my actions hidden from you
I'm creepin' with your whole crew girl
I'm spending time with everyone you know
Baby, baby, baby
Affectionate address to the person being spoken to
Keep creepin' on too
You should continue to be sneaky as well
You know I'm creepin' on you
I'm acting just like you and trying to catch you in the act
Girl there're so many people
There are many other potential partners
In this world
On this earth
There's nothing special about you
You're not unique or remarkable
You're just another girl
You're one of many similar people
I used to think I wanted nobody else, nobody else but you
I used to believe you were the only person I wanted to be with
But I can play your game too
I can also be unfaithful and dishonest
Creepin' on me, I'm creepin' on you girl
You've been secretly observing me, so I'm reciprocating your actions
When everything was right you made things wrong
You ruined a good thing
You're all I ever wanted but you're gone
I had strong feelings for you, but now you're out of my life
[Soulful humming]
Musical interlude
When everything was right you made things wrong
You destroyed something good
You're all I ever wanted but you're gone
I had deep emotions for you, but now you're no longer a part of my life
Baby, baby keep creepin' on!
Addressing the person being spoken to, asking them to continue their sneaky behavior
