    <description>David Garza (born February 4, 1971 in Irving, Texas) is an Austin-based American singer-songwriter who infuses rock and pop with a latin feel and whose vocal style draws comparisons to Freddie Mercury, Prince, Jeff Buckley, Donovan and Robert Plant. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/David+Garza&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Listen at Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <comment>He may be a Mexican-American singer-songwriter based in Austin, but David Garza is no rootsy, confessional strummer. First of all, it's pronounced dah-VEED, and second, he sings in a splendidly busy tenor topped with showy vibrato. Then there's the music - rollicking pop tugged with an industrial undertow, as clangy as it is hooky, and deliberately overproduced.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/davidgarza/albums/album/100354/review/5940856/overdub&quot;&gt;more at www.rollingstone.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>

  <comment>Born in Irving, TX, Dav&#237;d Garza (pronounced Dah-VEED) was exposed to music at an early age. His mother sang in a choir, his older brothers were diehard classic rock fans, and Garza himself worshipped the Mexican music he picked up on his radio. In 1989, following stints in numerous high-school bands, Garza enrolled in the University of Texas-Austin, where he and his oddly named outfit Twang Twang Shaka Boom gained industry attention for Garza's combination of pop-savvy songwriting and Robert Plant-style vocals. After leaving the group to go solo, he gigged continually around and outside the Texas area. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&amp;sql=11:diftxqqjldfe~T1&quot;&gt;more at www.allmusic.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>
