David Houston has worked with countless musicians in the Sacramento area as a producer, engineer and
musician since the 1980s. He ran Moon Recording Studios when it facilitated the needs of Jay King,
who went on to have a national number one hit with Club Nouveau. He also worked with Tony Toni Tone
in their early development as a national R&B act.
As a producer, he gained local attention with the 1980 local radio hit "Carry Me Back" by Crayon,
which was played on stations KXOA AM and FM. In the 1990s he began regular local performances as a
solo singer/songwriter, delivering meaningful and tuneful folk/rock. His music was often reviewed
in local publications Sacramento News & Review and Alive & Kicking. In the 2020s he performs on the
local circuit with a band billed as David Houston & String Theory. Additionally, he has shared the stage with
countless local acts including Kevin Seconds, Allyson Seconds, Anton Barbeau and Autumn Sky.
