THE LEVEL

Dave Thompson was born in Sydney, Australia but has lived in North America for the past 10 years. Having been brought up in a less than musical family, (his step father was in the NSW Police Band) he started playing the guitar, bass and keyboards simultaneously around the time he was 15 years old.

He started playing professionally at the age of 16 (in a Top 40 band that toured Australia) and starting recording in studios as a session player at 17. As a multi-instrumentalist playing guitars, bass and keys, Dave has performed over 4,000 gigs touring in North America, Australia and Asia, playing with such diverse acts as the Australian Pink Floyd show, the Australian U2 show and countless top/cover bands.

He has played with members of Savage Garden, Jeff Martin from the Tea Party, and worked with Grammy and Platinum producers/mixers of Pink, Mick Jagger and Lenny Kravitz to name a few.

Dave joined Roadrunner/Universal rock band High Holy Days as bass player in the fall of 2004 and moved to guitar duties in July 2005, till Feb 2007 before branching out into film and TV as an actor, writer, director and producer.

Dave has remixed some amazing artists including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston, Sugar Ray and Chris Vrenna (NIN). He recently created the induction music for the Canadian Olympic Committee and promo music for the FIFA U20 promo spots.

Dave also produced Ben G's "Cut You In" and 2011's "Stories I Tell" signed to Blue Saphire Universal, which Ben won "Rock Artist of The Year" at the 2008 and 2010 London Music Awards and Fan Favorite at the 2008 and 2010 Jack Richardson Music Awards. He also produced Liesa Norman's "Text Me" which led to a deal with Koch/Nevada. Dave also creates theme music for TV shows seen across North America on Sportsnet and Fox, and regularly creates music for the Canadian Olympic Committee.

Aside from being a producer/mixer for Digital Underdog Productions (what he calls his "day job"), he spends his time acting and developing film and TV projects and is represented exclusively by Gerry Lomberg at The Characters Agency in Toronto, Canada.
