Daveed was born in Guatemala city, where his interest in Latin American music began at and early age. He inmersed himself in a wide variety of musical styles such as music of the Andes, Tango, Flamenco, Rancheras, Trios etc, but it was always the Latin Guitar that moved him most. Moving to New Orleans, LA in 1982 to finish his higher education studies, a new era of his life began, this time with guitar in hand.

In New Orleans as well as in Los Angeles, Daveed has demonstrated his talent as a guitarist and composer since his beginnings as a church choir director followed by various musical activities that have included studio work, live performances, while leading his own group or being part of other groups. In 2001 Daveed played a very small but significant role in a short film called King Returns where he plays himself and performs live on the set.

Whether it be a joropo, bossa nova. bolero, rumba, Latin Jazz, or bulerías, Daveed follows his love for the Latin Guitar and Latin America itself, that vast continent that forms the deepest roots of this young guitarist who offers us a celebration and fusion of new and ancient cultures.

Daveed has different music combinations with other guitars, percussion and horns if desired. His band is great for ceremonies, cocktail hours and and any Latin requested event for great listening and some dancing music
