David Sancious was born in Long Branch, New Jersey on November 30, 1953, to Jimmie and Stelma Sancious. David’s father was an electronics engineer and his mother a school teacher.

An early interest in music was shown when at 4 years old David was able to pick out a few notes on a small plastic guitar his parents had given him, and play along to a Calypso record his father used to play frequently.

Two years later when the family relocated from Asbury Park to Belmar, N.J. , a piano was included along with the purchase of the new house. After the boxes and furniture were brought in , his mother sat at the piano and began to play beautiful classical piano selections , much to his amazement. The effect was instantaneous . “Music became the most interesting and beautiful thing in the world to me, and being able to express all that beauty and magic was all I wanted.”

Will Calhoun is best known for his work in Living Colour. He has also played with B.B. King, Mick Jagger, Jaco Pastorious, Jack Dejohnette, Herb Alpert and many others. His  unique blend of improvisational and hard rock drumming can be found on each of Living Colour’s four Epic releases: the ground breaking multi-platinum debut, Vivid, the critically acclaimed sophomore LP, Time’s Up, the Biscuits EP, and Stain, as well as their subsequent releases.
