Dave Deporis (1976/1977 - August 2017) was a singer songwriter, guitarist, living in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, CA​.

Deporis previously lived in Prospect Park (Brooklyn)​. His song "The Adult Song" was his big hit of that era, (2005).

Deporis' laptop was stolen while he worked at a cafe in August 2017. He chased the thief and was dragged by the thief's car, leading to mortal injuries.


His music, Deporis's, is a treasure, buried away from deserving ears, from unknowing ears, but it merits, if not desires, an audience. A voice which does not overpower, nor take the breath away, but commands attention with it's presence. The man, like his music, is vaguely mysterious and although I posed him a series of questions I have not solved the mystery, just made it more tantalizing.
