David Clerest Project

Welcome to the official DCP website, Rock music for a new era. This one-man band rocks you to the edge of
eternity. Established in the year 1990, in California, David Clerest continued writing his anti-war and
environmental protest songs that he had begun writing in the 1980s. After much struggle to keep a three piece
band together in the 80's, he decided to combine his talents as a drummer, guitarist and song writer to create a
unique one man show called DCP.
As a one man band, David brings a whole new perspective to songs by bands like Judas Priest, Metallica and
Iron Maiden.
David Clerest played numerous shows from 1990 to
year 2003. He released the album Mission:Earth in
1999. That album was re-mastered and re-released
in 2001. DCP released a new Album in 2011 and is
touring worldwide.

David Clerest was born in a musical family. He Played
drums since childhood and got his first drum kit at age 4.
He picked up the guitar at age 13. David programs the
drum machine and pre-records the bass guitar to use as
back up tracks. On stage he plays both rhythm and lead
guitar and vocals to his back up tracks. Watching DCP
is an inspiring and uplifting experience. David is a crusade
for social and environmental justice, and this is reflected
in his song writing. He recorded his CD Mission:Earth (1997)
using solar power-green energy was unheard of at that time.
David also designed and built his own accoustic guitars.
