In 1967, his parents welcomed him into the world in Johannesburg, South Africa. Dave Matthews had to divide their time among the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. When he was a teenager, he earned his U.S. citizenship while living in Virginia. You probably already know that he made it big as the lead of the self-named band that was formed in Charlottesville: Dave Matthews Band. Aside from singing, he is also known for how talented he is at guitar playing and songwriting. It is clear that he still feels a deep connection to South Africa since he supports marches and rallies that happen in his home country. In fact, he has used these experiences as inspiration for some of his musical pieces.
