The songs are catchy; and the lyrics are deep; so, you have the best of bothworlds. dave o’shani could be marketed to most of the types of music fans. That wouldmake the record company’s income great compared to if the music was just one genre.O’shani is genuine and has been doing the pop thing even before the industry switched back from alternative. This makes him a pioneer in the new wave of music.” - Steve Dash of Music Buzz Magazine (Los Angeles, CA) "dave o’shani is truly the next wave for the new Millennium.
