David Le'aupepe (27 Feb 1992 -)
Member Of: Gang of Youths (2012 - present)
Vocal Range: C2 - C♯5
{Vocal Summary}As frontman and primary songwriter for Australian band Gang of Youths, Dave Le'aupepe is the single most important driving force behind their brand of heartfelt, maximalist-yet-personal indie rock. He is a naturally rather low-placed singer, a warm-sounding baritone able to project a strong, world-weary sound throughout the second octave that is well used in the band's softer material. However, he also possesses an unusually powerful belting register for someone of his voice type, pushing an impassioned and raspy tone well above his expected comfort zone to match Gang of Youths' highest-energy climaxes. A skilled, versatile vocalist and even better writer, it's clear that Le'aupepe will continue to be one of his country's premier rock songsmiths in the years to come.
