Dave Casad "Krewl Dave" (middle) Keyboards/songwriter (Dorian Grey)
Nita first started collaborating with Dave back in 1987 to produce songs for Ed DeJoy (RCA). Back then, Dave Casad brought in recording engineer, Christopher Wade Damerst, who won two '2003 grammys (Pink, Robbie Williams, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Talia).
Nita and Dave joined forces again and recorded more songs in 2004.Nita and Dave's collaborations are completely different from anything Nita's recorded. Most people like the songs with "Krewl," saying it shows a different side to Nita's songwriting.
