Quote: David on...Nicknames

D - va
I have a couple of nicknames that I have had since childhood, most are family originated and used but one in particular has carried over to my musical career and that is D - va. 
D - va is actually a common nickname for guys called David in Zimbabwe. I have been called D - va for as long as I can remember. Being a musician, often people write about me particularly online and they often use the spelling, diva which is kind of funny in light of the meaning of the word in entertainment circles but I spell it D - va which is how it sounds when you say it.
