David Philippe Desrosiers (August 29, 1980, is a Québécois musician, who is best known as the bassist and backing vocalist for pop punk band Simple Plan. He grew up in Matane, Quebec, Canada.
Early life
Desrosiers joined the band Reset, after former lead singer, Pierre Bouvier, left the band. He played bass, and sang the lead in Reset. Desrosiers was involved with Reset for 6 months, although did not record any studio albums. He was subsequently recruited to join Simple Plan in 1999, which was originally a four-piece, with Bouvier playing bass thus relieving Bouvier so he could concentrate on singing. It is sometimes rumoured that the original four members of Simple Plan almost 'stalked' Desrosiers until he agreed to join their band.
Music
He has been known to briefly play the drums or guitar during shows for Simple Plan as well as for many of his favorite bands such as The Used, Green Day (he has two bass guitars with the American Idiot heart granade), Good Charlotte, and MxPx. Desrosiers has developed into almost a co-frontman as dialogue between him and lead singer Pierre Bouvier enlivens the show.
