Get to know Dave

During his day job in the Army, clean cut drum major Dave usually leads marching drills and trains up new recruits to play music in his regiment’s military band.

And although this rocking soldier declared our Voice stage far scarier than a screaming sergeant's orders, his Blind Audition performance of Michael Bolton’s classic ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’ was most certainly enough to have Mr Wilson stand to attention, command his red button and march Dave right onto #TeamRicky.
