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 Fullerton, 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 is making a come back into the live
scene, and is currently working on a new album.

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. After much struggle to keep a 3 piece band together during the
80's, he finally settled for a unique one man band called David Clerest
Project. Dave 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. His song writing generally deals with anti war
message, environmental issues and other social issues. He recorded his
CD Mission:Earth using solar power (green energy was unheard of at that
time). David is not only an activist in the environmental and human rights
fields, but is also a big advocate for animal rights. He also designed and
built his own accoustic guitars. See his hand made accoustic guitars by
