David Anthony Burke (born March 28, 2005), known professionally as d4vd (pronounced DAY-vid), is an American singer and songwriter.
Burke began making music at his mother's recommendation to avoid receiving copyright strikes on his YouTube videos. In 2022, he released the singles "Here with Me" and "Romantic Homicide", which became viral hits on TikTok and led to his signing with Darkroom and Interscope Records. Alongside a string of releases in 2023, Burke released two extended plays, Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals, the former charting in five regions. In 2024, Burke released five singles, including his third single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, "Feel It". His debut album, Withered , was released on April 25, 2025.
Born in Queens, New York City, he would later move to Houston, Texas. Until the age of 13, Burke strictly listened to gospel music. After hearing the song "Gucci Gang" by Lil Pump, he began to listen to more music on his school laptop, discovering XXXTentacion and Members Only. Burke later discovered the indie music genre through a Fortnite montage. He was home-schooled after seventh grade.
Burke's career in music started when he made montage videos of the video game Fortnite. To avoid receiving copyright strikes, he decided to make his own music. Before his rise to prominence, Burke released his music to SoundCloud, including songs such as "You and I" and "Take Me To the Sun". He released the single "Romantic Homicide" on July 20, 2022, after snippets of it went viral on TikTok. "Romantic Homicide" charted at No. 3 on the Hot Alternative Songs charts. The song's success led to Burke being contacted by Darkroom and Interscope Records, leading to him signing with the label in September 2022. Originally released to SoundCloud before "Romantic Homicide", Burke's next single, "Here with Me" was officially released to streaming services in September 2022. The song entered multiple charts following its use on TikTok, most notably at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top ten in Singapore. The majority of these songs were produced using a freemium DAW called BandLab.
