David Hecht was born a stone’s throw away from the Mexican border in south Texas and began playing guitar at age 12, cutting his musical teeth on Tex-Mex swing,mariachi and latin music as well as the blues, rock and funk of the 60’s and 70’s.
When he was 14, his family moved to Madison,Wisconsin where he finished high school and entered the University of Wisconsin. From those humble beginnings, David went on to form the acclaimed international touring and recording group JAVA, which claimed fans from all over the US, Canada and beyond, opening shows for such notable artists as the Pointer Sisters, Dr.John, the Neville Brothers and Los Lobos. After eight years of touring with Java, David began a new chapter, traveling and living in Latin America, honing his skills as a solo performer, later moving to Colorado to perform in the ski resorts of the Rockies. In 1998, he returned to Madison, reuniting with his long time friends the Neviaser brothers (aka The Rhinos), veteran sax master Bob Corbit,and the multi-talented trombonist / percussionist Phil Lyons, to form Primitive Culture, a groovy, percussive ensemble that brings various genres together in an upbeat and ultimately danceable group currently playing festivals and performances throughout the Midwest.
