He began playing the piano at age seven and has written songs since grade school. Enamored by the piano for as long as he can remember, he was inspired early by Elton John. He is a prolific writer of words and music, plays the piano with power and passion, and has a strong, soulful voice. Several prominent musicians in North America have the name Dave Turner. In lieu of an acceptable stage name, this one registered with BMI as David Dwight Turner.

Dave's piano rock has flavors of pop, Americana, country, jazz and blues, and sometimes a sprinkling of gospel.

In fall 2007, he was one of eight finalists selected from across the United States in the North Carolina Songwriters Co-op 10th Annual Song Contest.

His latest CD (2007) is "Could Have Talked All Night," with 12 songs recorded live in-studio on May 23, 2007 at Collapseable Recording Studio in Asheville, NC. The record features Dave on piano and vocal, Stephanie Morgan on vocal, Michael Libramento on bass and Joe Buzzelli on drums.
