Journey: To Love EP

David Sosa, a New York based singer/songwriter, is promoting his EP Journey: To Love. David was introduced to musical stylings such as Opera, Jazz standards and Broadway that allowed for him to build an eclectic taste and multi-genre performances. While sonically contemporary, David’s musical influences stemmed from 90’s R&B which grew outward into the soul music of the 60’s and 80’s. Powerhouses such as Luther Vandross and Donny Hathaway to prominent women like Patti Labelle, Mariah Carey and Rachelle Ferrell significantly added to David Sosa’s soundscape. Sosa has toured with Nashville artist Tim Dillinger as part of his trio Soulkiss working alongside Charlene Moore, Patsy Moore and Susaye Green. Songstress and longtime friend Ramona Montanez who’s also featured as a vocalist and co- writer for his EP Journey: To Love may be seen touring with him locally.
