David Lyttle
David Lyttle (born 21 June 1984) is a jazz drummer, hip hop producer, composer and record label owner from Waringstown, Northern Ireland. He has released five solo albums and eight EPs, and received nominations in the MOBO Awards and Urban Music Awards.
Lyttle began performing under the direction of his parents with the Lyttle Family and in his teens was active as a drummer, DJ and studied classical cello. He began his jazz career in the band of Louis Stewart in 2007 and released his debut album True Story the same year. He has featured notable jazz artists in his groups, including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Seamus Blake, Terell Stafford, Greg Osby, Jean Toussaint and Tim Warfield, and appeared in the groups of Jesse van Ruller, David Kikoski and Soweto Kinch.
Lyttle was nominated in the 2015 MOBO Awards for Best Jazz Act. He is the first Irish musician to have been nominated for a MOBO. He was also nominated for an Urban Music Award in October 2015.
In April 2017 he carried out a 5000-mile, coast-to-coast residency in the U.S., performing for unusual audiences in an attempt to understand more about the public's connection with jazz. The tour included performances at the Bagdad Café on Route 66 in the Mojave Desert, the Little A'Le'Inn' in Rachel, Nevada near Area 51 and at the site of jazz drummer Art Blakey's childhood home in the Hill District, Pittsburgh. Lyttle received the Arts Council of Northern Ireland's Major Individual Award, worth £15,000, for the project and vlogged for the MOBO Awards YouTube channel.
In October 2018 Lyttle collected tape recordings of New York City residents speaking about change in the city, creating "Tapes & Drums, New York", a solo show which features his improvised drumming.
Lyttle's 2022 tour included dates in Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Canada and throughout Europe.
In June 2023 he performed for Irish President Michael D. Higgins at Aras an Uachtaráin.
Lyttle has released three acoustic jazz albums, two crossover albums and five hip-hop EPs. His studio projects and output as a producer are usually centred around hip-hop, using live drums or the Akai MPC 2000XL, and often feature the Rhodes piano.
