The artist returns in 2021 with the singles “Ocean Fire” and “Toxic” which concentrate on his sincere, earnest and most honest senses. They also keep the listener informed on his deepest and most inherent qualities, while employing controlled rhythms and creative luminosity. David’s vocal range is as clean and in check as you could expect from a top-level artist. Fresh and skilled instrumentation and honest songwriting, complete with binding backing vocals, catapult this into modern-day relevancy, reminding us all that real R&B and Soul is alive and fine.

The aforementioned qualities are instantly evident “Toxic”. It’s a slow-burning groove, maneuvering through emotional passions. A full bodied, vibe-inducing gem, awash with shimmering melodic radiance. The song gravitates around profound messages of intimacy and mesmeric connection.

“I chose my poison. You run through my veins. I’m different since I met you. I’ll never be the same,” sings David Sosa, in a tale that unfolds the intricacies of being attracted to people who may not be good for us in the end.

“Toxic” verifies that David Sosa can make intriguing, warm and stylish music all at once. In the midst of his trademark, smooth-as-honey delivery is a nuanced strain in his subtle-toned vocal register, which rides atop lush melodic structures.

His impassioned conviction brims with tremendous contrasts of desire, regret, and longing. David reaches a visceral precedent for merging vulnerability with self-discovery and fragility in his artistry, while possessing dazzling stylistic touches.

The combination of musical subtlety and professional craftsmanship reaches a new peak for David Sosa here. With all the traits of a consummate perfectionist, he plots each sonic move with tender love and care, allowing the song to breathe with its own texture, narrative and character.

Immediacy is a pivotal element that is present within David’s musical approach. Not to mention, his vocal dexterity, which is at the center of everything, showing intense emotionality and sincerity.

It’s unquestionably clear that David Sosa is madly in love with his craft. Neither forced nor abrasive, David places the listener right in the center of his comforting lure, inviting you to explore the higher pursuits of his art.

“Toxic” possesses a musical canvas with luscious strokes and intricate detail, largely because of the warm instrumentation and pacing of the music. It’s what suits the narrative that David conveys, and soaks up the full depth of its varying attributes.

1 In Music: What is unique about you and your music?



David Sosa [DS]: My music is highly relatable. No matter where you are at in your life, you will know I lived the experience of my songs, and people feel that. I am proud of that fact, I believe this is what makes music timeless: the feelings it stirs up in the listeners.

1 In Music: What or who shaped your music and who supports you?

DS: My Parents and many teachers throughout my life have supported and encouraged my gift. I would not be who I am today if it wasn’t for life’s many teachers. As far as who shaped my music, taking vocal lessons and competing for state and county helped me delve into Opera, Classical Jazz and Broadway tunes. I learned early on the beauty and importance of being eclectic.



1 In Music: When did you realise you were going to make music professionally?



DS: I grew up listening and reading lyrics written by Mariah Carey, Teena Marie and hearing greats like Luther and Patti, Phoebe Snow and Donny Hathaway. Later, I delved into Rachelle Ferrell and other great artists, all who played a huge part in my love of song and music. I realized at a very young age I wanted to be like these people in some way and do my part.

1 In Music: What type of music do you listen to?

DS: Classic soul & R&B, Jazz, Opera, and contemporary R&B.

1 In Music: Who, to you, is the most undervalued music artist?

Be authentic and organic, and do not let others impose on you their ideas of who you need to be and how you should go about doing what it is you do.

DS: I recently released my latest single, Toxic produced by Diggy Diamond. It is a very personal song about someone you connect with intimately and physically that you know is not good for you emotionally or otherwise.

Sosa has toured with Nashville artist Tim Dillinger as part of his trio Soulkiss working alongside Charlene Moore, Patsy Moore and Susaye Green.

David Sosa: about the musician and the music
1 In Music: What is unique about you and your music?

David Sosa [DS]: My Music is always relatable and has a message of hope, self-discovery, self-love and healing. You will find that in the lyrics and in the general sound of any of my music.


1 In Music: What or who shaped your music and who supports you?


DS: My Parents and life shaped my music. I am supported by a wide variety of friends, community members, and music lovers alike. More importantly, The Divine. I am blessed and feel that essence in my life.

Becoming David Sosa, the singer-songwriter
1 In Music: When did you realise you were going to make music professionally?

DS: I knew from the age of 16 that I could write my own music and sing well enough to hit a stage consistently. I didn’t always, as fear and doubt made its way into my general being. However, I had all these words and melodies that needed to be heard and out in the open verses on my hard drive or phone voice memos.
1 In Music: What type of music do you listen to?


DS: I listen to everything from Jazz, to Opera, to Soul and R&B from the 1960s to the 2000s. I love music and I always look for the feelings it may give me despite the genre or artist.

A quick look at the music industry from David Sosa’s perspective
1 In Music: Who, to you, is the most undervalued music artist?

DS: Most of us Unsigned indie artists. I have a friend, Ramona Montanez who is one of the most prolific writers and an amazing vocalist and the fact she aint on the radio or touring nationally boggles my mind. I know many other very talented artists that just don’t get the recognition they deserve because they dont have a Machine to back them up and push them out.


1 In Music: How do you prepare for your performances?


DS: I sleep and I hydrate. I laze about and drink so much water it’s ridiculous.

I also run my material nonstop since I am the worst at remembering lyrics, even my own.

David Sosa: On being spiritual
My Music… has a message of hope, self-discovery, self-love and healing.

1 In Music: You got us laughing there. We feel you. What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?


David Sosa: When I don’t do music I am in the kitchen cooking up new or existing favorite recipes. Or I am engaging in philosophical and spiritual discussions on and off line and also providing spiritual advice to those who may need it.

1 In Music: Success to you is…?:

[Success to me is…] Expressing yourself fully and authentically in whatever field you operate in.

Art is too subjective and there are too many ways to express it, but success is in seeing your ideas into fruition. That is success!

1 In Music: What do you wish you were told when you started out and that you think would help anyone who starts out?

DS: How expensive being an indie artist can be. I’m about to start a Gofundme just for me. Patreon is cute but a lil help would be awesome, maybe even some government assistance and programs geared for supporting the arts.

What is next for David Sosa?
1 In Music: Any upcoming projects?

DS: I’ve been recording and working with various artists like Damian Julio Martinez, Jaspen, Abena Malika and so many more on this new eclectic project. So a lot of writing and recording. However, me and Jaspen just released About U. This song is a self-love declaration and I hope more people listen to the lyrics and magical groove.

1 In Music: Tell us more about About U

me and Jaspen just released About U. This song is a self-love declaration and I hope more people listen to the lyrics and magical groove.

DS: About U was a covo I had with the Artist , Jaspen. It’s about how we tend to love others and center our attention and affection on this other person often times, forgetting our needs for self-care. So this song really reflects on redirecting the love back at yourself and making sure to check in with your feelings and hold space for the love you desire for yourself and then a partner. Diggy Diamond and OB beatzz produced the track and me and Jaspen did the rest in writing and developing a melody. It was done mostly remotely between NY and Florida but it turned out great and we are excited for the world to hear it and let it soak in.

1 In Music: Nice. So, Where do we find that song and all your music?

DS: You can find my everything at www.davsos.com. It is constantly updated and has access to all my music, interviews and social media.
