David Broza

by Drago Bonacich Talented singer/songwriter David Broza was born in Israel and raised in England and Spain. Son of a businessman and a folksinger, the artist was influenced at a very young age, reaching the stage when he was a teenager. At the age of 21, Broza was climbing local charts with his own compositions, recording his debut album in 1978. David Broza's first English release came out in 1989. That album, produced by Steve Miller, was called Away From Home. In 1995, while promoting Stonedoors, the singer had the opportunity to open for Sting, even playing a song along with him. In 1996, Broza returned to his roots, recording a Hebrew album called Big Secrets in Tel-Aviv. It would be several years before he returned to releasing another English album, eventually returning with 2001's Starting to Breathe. The following year, he tried releasing the first bilingual album of his career, Painted Postcard.
