Here are some of David’s favourite songs that he has been involved in since starting in the music business:


"Pain"
Mother Hubbard
This was Alex Llyod’s band when he was about 19 yrs. I signed him when I heard him playing at a pub in Balmian. Alex is an incredible singer and songwriter and this debut EP was full of great songs and playing from Alex and the boys.


"Wishes"
Human Nature
This was my first bona fide hit. My best mate Andrew Klippel wrote it and HN sang it beautifully. They sounded so great recording this track I just knew it was a hit.


"He Don't Love You"
Human Nature
A huge song and huge hit for HN. We all loved the video too so we were very proud of this one. Hot song and HN were on fire.


"I Need Somebody"
Bardot
I reckon this was the coolest song Bardot ever did. Those girls were crazy sexy nuts but what a great track. The video is also a corker –what about Sophie in those $ earings –phew!


"Hope"
David Campbell
Great song and great Guy. We love DC.


"What About Me"
Shannon Noll
Even though I didn’t A&R this record I loved working it with Shannon. Great song and a fabulous artist. Go the “Cannon"!


"Shine"
Shannon Noll
Shannon and I were out ALL night in LA and I had to get up at 9am that morning and meet with my friend Matthew Gerard. I struggled out of bed after 1 hour sleep but I am glad I did as Matt played me the demo of “Shine” and I knew it was the one for Shannon. I played it to the ‘Cannon that night and he agreed. Ross Frazer and the boys added their parts and made it a smash. No1 debut, platinum seller and No1 radio record for so long. I love this song –I think it is the new national anthem!


"This Time I Know It's For Real"
Young Divas
Agent Supremo Tony Grace and I came up with the idea of putting Emily, Paulini, Kate and Ricki-Lee together for a tour. TG said that I had to create a single to promote the tour and help ticket sales. With the prospect of recording some of the best young voices in the country I got excited and hit the studio. My man George came up with a great production and the girls sang amazingly. This has got to be one of the freshest vocal performances from Australian singers in a long time. A total smash! You go girls.


"Pointless Relationship"
Tammin Sursok
A great song from an awesome chick. Talk about hot –Tammin sizzles and she sings this track fabulously. I had been trying to work with Tammin for years but it just never worked out. So when I got the chance to record with her I jumped at it and this was our first offering.


"Out With My Baby"
Guy Sebastian
What a cool song form a very cool young man. Guy’s an awsesome singer but also a very talented songwriter as you can hear from this song. Oh and the video also won “Best Pop Video” at the 2005 MTV Australia Video Awards. Go the “Fro"!


"Angel Eyes"
Paulini
 4 weeks at No 1 says it all. Great song (thanks Mike!) and an incredible vocal from one of our finest singers.
