Davíd Garza (born February 4, 1971, in Irving, Texas) is an Austin-based, American singer-songwriter who infuses rock and pop with a Latin feel and whose vocal style draws comparisons to Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Donovan and Robert Plant.

In 1989, following stints in numerous high-school bands, Garza enrolled in the University of Texas at Austin, where he and his oddly named outfit Twang Twang Shock-a-Boom (named in reference to the guitar, bass, and drums of the group) gained industry attention for Garza's combination of pop-savvy songwriting and Robert Plant-style vocals. After leaving the group to go solo, he gigged continually around and outside the Texas area. At first, Garza rebuffed various offers, choosing instead to record and distribute music on his own. He eventually signed with Lava/Atlantic, who landed him a slot on the Great Expectations soundtrack before releasing his major-label debut, This Euphoria, in April 1998. [1]

As a live performer, Garza is regarded for passionate and charismatic performances, even as a solo performer.
