Dave Panico's music is rooted firmly in his faith. Even though Dave's music convey his spiritual side, this never gets in the way of the high energy vibe that characterizes his playing. Dave's vision is to touch the essence of the inner heart and my mission is to open doors that lead to healing of hardships and struggles in life.

Dave’s music is Refreshing, Uplifting and Inspirational. One fan writes:

"Thank you Dave, because magic may not be real.. but your songs are truly magical!"

"I am always looking to do something different with my music. Smooth Jazz can become redundant in its sound, so I like to put a different spin on the music. I am classically trained, having listened and performed with rock and metal bands, played in a reggae band and many more. I like variety and strive for my music to be exciting, dynamic and melodic."

Dave received the Instrumental Artist of the Year Award both at the 2015 King Cat Music Awards and the 2007 Kansas City Christian Music Awards.
