BIOGRAPHY

David Cuccia is a Trance Producer/Dj, he likes to produce uplifting and some progressive style Trance songs. He got into Trance after hearing a song called “Sail” from Armin Van Buuren back in late 2006, after that hes been a fan ever since. David Cuccia also performs under the alias, “BRD” (BigRaveDave). When it comes BRD’s style it could be described as frantic, fast paced and in your face. Unlike your typical DJ who plays a track out to its fullest, BRD likes to cram an enormous amount of songs into each set he does. He mainly plays Electro, Progressive House and Dubstep. David Cuccia produces a podcast called “The BRD Podcast” and the “The David Cuccia Podcast”.
