Dave started playing guitar and joined his first band while attending Heathside School in Weybridge, Surrey. Dave has played in many
professional and semi-professional bands over the years playing originals, covers and 50/50 split.

Dave Kent founded Velvet Razor in 2003, he is the main song writer
and visionary of the band. Velvet Razor operates as a benign dictatorship.

Though Dave has been involved in several bands over the years,
Velvet Razor is dearest to his heart
