Early years and musical influences
Rufes started playing music at the age of 7 when he had received a Spanish guitar for his birthday. He bought his first electric guitar at the age of 12 after a whole year saving money. His early childhood musical influences included The Beatles, Chuck Berry and few years later The Ramones and Guns N' Roses.Career
After many years playing very different styles of music, David's musical career took off with a very special way to play rock-fusion through his album Assorted Random Notes. Just after releasing the album he would have the opportunity to share the stage with first class musicians like Joe Satriani, The Aristocrats or Mike Keneally.He moved to the USA where he kept developing his very own style while enjoying playing with artists like Daniel Ben Zebulon or Robben Ford. During his first year in the USA he composed his album The night we met released in March 2017. A step forward in his career into a very relaxed and melodic jazz. For this record David recorded all guitars, bass and percussion and had Pau Chafer playing keys, Paul Evans playing Trumpets and Felipe Cucciardi playing drums.
In May 2017 David Rufes Band was invited to play in the Coral Gables Blues Festival
