David Scott Roberts was born in Boston on September 13, 1958 and raised in Toronto, Canada. As a songwriter for Warner/Chappell Music over 15 years, David had many of his songs recorded by such artists as Diana Ross, Starship, Bad English, Jimmy Barnes, John Waite, House of Lords, Ramsey Lewis and Nancy Wilson to name a few, and collaborated with many great writers, such as Dianne Warren, Jonathan Cain, Gerry Goffin, Albert Hammond, John Waite, Jimmy Barnes, Greg Giuffria, Alanis Morrisette.

In late 70’s a demo submitted to a radio station talent search changed his fate when he was around 20 years old. The prize was to record 3 more songs in a high quality studio, and the finished tape ultimately got into the hands of A&R at WEA Canada. As a result, David got a deal and brought him to Los Angeles to record his first album "All Dressed Up" and released on Elektra Records in 1982.

David wrote and produced dozens of commercials as well as music for television commercials for Coke and Budweiser Beeer and the Olympics, including "Before I Go" for the multi million selling Starship album "Knee Deep in the Hoopla”, a number one song in Australia "Drivin' Wheels" recorded by Jimmy Barnes. The artists who recorded David's songs are Bad English, Diana Ross, House of Lords ( Greg Giuffria's band ) to name a few others.
In 1994, David won the prize of the song contest for opening theme of Kansai International Airport Japan with the song titled "Sora-Ni-Mukatte (Reach Out To The Sky)". David was flown to Osaka for the opening ceremony where it was announced that his song came in second.
In 2003, David Roberts was back as a singer for Tommy Denander, Swedish guitarist. We were also able to listen to David's unchanged voice on Frédéric Slama's project album "AOR / Dreaming of L.A".
In 2008, David was finally back with his second effort titled "Better Late Than Never."
