Two months ago, the 19-year-old, whose real name is Dovydas Mašcinskas, was still living at home with his parents and little sisters in Lithuania, where for five years he fronted an American-style, rock-and-blues band that landed the musician on several televised music competitions, including the 2009 season of “Lithuania’s Got Talent.”
“Lithuania is small,” Smash says. “There are only six TV channels and 14 radio stations all playing techno and pop. There are only a few music producers, and none of them will work with an American-style musician. They see no product.”
Sarasota saw a product. - Observer
David Smash was born in Kaunas, second largest city of Lithuania. Father is a painter and mother is a stay at home mom. David began playing guitar at the age 13. After taking private lessons from older guitar playing friends David enrolled to Kaunas Children Music School in drum class. Later he studied classical guitar at Naujalis Music Gymnasium and in 2010 he transferred to Kaunas Juozas Gruodis Music Concervatory.
During those times he formed his first band. At first it was named "David Mash and the Smash Band" but later it got shortened to simply David Smash Band. The group began playing local competitions and festivals and after David's appearances on national television received invitations to headline major music festivals in Lithuania and Poland. - wikipedia
