"My goal as an artist is to leave the audience knowing their connection to others, happier than when they entered, inspired by songs and stories to warm the heart, and send them home wanting to be kinder."
 
Dave Carroll is a Canadian storyteller; a songwriter, author, professional speaker, social media pioneer and the creator of a one-in-a-billion viral video, United Breaks Guitars. His $150.00 YouTube music video about his broken instrument and the airline that failed to right their wrong, is said to have changed the world and became “one of the most important videos in Googles history”.  It empowered consumers and sent ripples across the global business community resulting in invitations to over 30 countries to speak about his adventure.  It also introduced Dave's back catalogue of original songs to a global audience. He has remained most passionate about music and his 30+ year career in the music industry.  His work with his brother Don in the award winning band, Sons of Maxwell, along with his solo work has been fertile ground for a lifetime of stories and characters that he has woven into the music he loves to share.

Dave has a history of writing deeply impactful songs and the 11 new original cuts on his 2022 recording, Until One Day, were intentionally penned as an alternative to the prevailing sentiment of polarization in society. 
 
2022 also marked the release of his first illustrated story called Tom The Tomato Plant which was shortlisted by the Whistler International Book Competition.  The book was written with young readers in mind but the themes and messages make for a useful business parable in Dave's storytelling workshops for brands and aspiring storytellers.

His songwriting, a down-to-earth sense of humour and insightful experience have made him a masterful teller of stories that unite, motivate, and start movements.  Mostly though, Dave’s own motivation has always come from the simple pleasure of writing songs and stories for people who are willing to listen.
