David Alan Kushner II[1] (born September 6, 2000[citation needed]) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, he moved to Los Angeles, California, and began releasing music.

After realizing he could sing after finishing twelfth grade, he began writing songs with a close friend while living in Florida.

You can tell from his sheer excitement [...] I'm sure Kushner's youthful energy, magnetism, and blessed DNA will result in flocks of adoration".

"Mr. Forgettable", written from the perspective of an Alzheimer's patient, also gained attention on TikTok, with some users expressing being forgotten by family members and others relating it to mental illness.

The trend, which showcased people posting a photo of themselves smiling and looking content, and then pointing the camera at their partner to indicate they were the reason why, gained traction.

I definitely had not planned to market my music [... but after the unexpected success] I knew that TikTok would be a powerful tool to be able to connect with new people.
