David Soto has been singing and writing and performing since the age of 7.

His first performance was at Lincoln Center at age 8 with the cultural music and dance ensemble "El Grupo Cemi" as a percussionist and vocalist.  There was no escaping the "music bug" since the founder and director of el grupo cemi is his mom "Angie Hernandez".  It was with Grupo Cemi that he developed a passion for cultural arts, percussion and dance.  At age 10 it was Hip-Hop that stole his heart.  By the age of 13 he formulated his own Hip Hop Music dance group "The Body Rockers Empire".  He also began producing Hip Hop beats, m.c. rhymes, and breakdancing choreographies that were routinely performed on New York and Puerto Rico City Street corners and local venues.  When David hit 18, he was intruduced to latin rock by music director and guitarist "Edwin Pupa Santiago".  For the next 10 years he performed at live outdoor venues, smoke filled bars and everything in between as the lead vocalist for "A Band Called Loisaida".  DaSo has paid his dues and it is evident when he steps on the stage.

"There's nothing that can compare to that feeling of performing in front of a live audience with a group of polished musicians - there's nothing like it", explains David who more recently has been performing under the name "DaSo".  DaSo's latest project "Vision" which he wrote and arranged, is an unavoidable fusion of latin pop, salsa, folk, afro-rythms and hip hop just to name a few.  He proudly claims "this music is what I call urban carribean soul."  This project goes from smooth heartfelt ballads to mid-tempo carribean hip hop with songs like "Que Facil Es", "Quiero Volar" and "Siempre Te Amare".  He also touches on his roots in the same mid-tempo latin flair, with songs like "Regresar al Campo" and "Nuestro Valor".  These renditions of new urban latin music are a must hear for all.
