Davey Muise, formerly of Boston hardcore band Vanna, now lead singer for Trove from Portland, OR, talks about his childhood, upbringing and why he is where he is today.
I'll never forget meeting this dude. It was almost five years ago. I met him on my college campus before a show at my old local music venue. I remember walking up and joking with him about being in a little crappy band before I told him how much I loved his band. I've met almost every band I've seen live and this was the first time I was nervous talking to a band. I remember meeting him midafternoon over coffee and then that night him remembering me by name and shoving a microphone in my face multiple times for me to yell me favorite songs right back at him. Dude is an amazing guy to meet and if you ever have the chance shake his hand and just tell him how much he means to you. He's one of my biggest inspirations in my life and if nothing else a damn good role model. Keep on keeping on Davey, I hope I can meet you again sometime in the future and explain how much your music and messages have meant to me in the last five years.
I have been coming back to this video every few months for years whenever I'm feeling down because it just gives me so much hope. It'll all be okay in the end.

i had the same moment and i felt like giving up and then I got my dog and everything that brought me down didn't matter anymore and he's still with me today and he's my baby
I just met davey Monday he came to my school I was Inspired by his story and I felt compassion for him for his troubles in life I wish I could have talked to him longer, Thank you davey I am now inspired to find my shovel in life.
I met him today. He talked at my school, it was phenomenal. He’s shared his story with so many, and has had so many reasons to give up, and he never did. He’s an inspiration, and I’m so happy I went to talk to him. He’s changed my outlook and view on everything.
I met him at a show in melbourne Australia to apologize for security stopping the show because i stage dived, he was so fucking cool about it, just laughed and he was so forgiving and shook my hand.
I remember meeting Davey my first year of high school. It was sch an honor to have such a strong and inspirational individual be so happy to tell their story and to show us that life does get better. I remember I had gotten back from a trip to Colorado after taking more than 200 500MG extra strength Tylenol's to kill myself. I remember how happy I was to hear that someone else was or had been going through the same things I had been going through. Foster parents, drugs, abuse, etc. I have so much respect for this man and I will never forget being introduced to such an amazing person like Davey. Davey is such a caring person and having such a caring soul is such a good thing in life. Knowing someone as good-spirited as him who has gone through the hardships he has gone through shows that his world has some good left in it. He showed me that no matter how deep you are buried in your problems, you can get out of it. He saved me and his music changed my perspective on life. I had fallen into a deep depression and I cannot forget the feeling I had when I first saw how it felt to be happy again. And it wasn't because of pills to make me happy. I did it for myself. I worked for myself to be a better version of myself.I want to be like Davey Muise and I want to help and inspire people. I want to save people's lives. Thank you, Davey, for being yourself and being so open to telling your story. I love you. I am here because of you.
This is the best thing that the harbor has put on there I'm in 7th grade and this was truly an inspiration for me and my hole school JMS WE WATCH THE HARBOR every Monday we answer questions about the video personal or not.😀😢😮😌😫
You told my school this story a day ago. I very nearly cried many times. After school was over, I spoke to somebody who said she had cried because it hit too close to home. Thank you for coming to a tiny school like mine!
I met him this year and he inspired me so much I will never forget meeting you. You are one of my great role models. I will never forget you story! Pls keep inspired more people!
I normally am not moved by stories like that and the first time I saw "Toxic Pretender" I was stunned and listened to your music ever since - but as the Cop from your story, after some time spent on listening to you screaming and singing I came back to you cause I had a feeling that this is not JUST hc music here - I was right. Cheers from Poland m8, thx for the power.
I met him today and thank you for the story for what u went through and that's really meaningful when my friend told me Davey was really meaning what he said, thank you for coming
Today i met Davey he is soo amazing as much as he thinks he is weird and not awesome he is today he came to our school and only a few kids got to meet him and i got too and he is soo awesome today he said ''To succed you have to fail'' he is such a big idol on me thank you Davey :)
I have been through this before and my mom is the one that never gave up on me when I was in my room a musician who my mom knows talked to me about not to kill myself and I listened to him and I am grateful for the support that I have and I will pray to God that I am alive so RIP Mom
Totally different side from what I heard today. I look up to you man, already and it's only been an hour. I was going to take my life away and I realized that, if I was put here, what's my purpose. You saved me from making the biggest mistake.
Davey I would like to say thank you for sharing your story at my school today (horizon middle school November 27,18) it really inspires me and I have watched this like 5 times I love it
+Kendall Roderick my brother sent this to me the night i almost committed suicide he lives in a completely different state and then it made me realize that people care i look up to Davey
This made me cry, I saw vanna live when they were supporting beartooth (before I knew who they were) and as their set went on I felt a strong connection between the band and the crowd, and just the crowd itself. Amazing band, so much respect for this guy.
Holy shit. I can't believe that happened to you. Wow. My sister went to school with some of your members, in mass. I actually might be playing a gig with you guys this year
Wish i could have met this dude. Shitty part is, there's no one in my life who would reach out to me the way his friend in Iraq did for him. All i got to get me by is music. I miss this band.
You came to Lincoln Park High school last week and your story made me think alot and that everyone has story that they should tell and that you can make it it in life even if things happen to you and to never let go on what you want to do I come from a home thats divorce and my mom has been doing all she can and not haveing dad there to help is depressing but that I can be anything no matter what anybody tells me or how much some bring me down I can get to where i want to be
I always watch this when I feel down my real mom was a drug addict and threw me to the curb and I was adopted by an amazing family that sometimes I truly feel I don't deserve...I got to have the love of my life the best love I ever know n I will always love her but my mental illness ruined our relationship but she still loves me.n sticks around. I tried to kill myself multiple times but ye I'm still here idk why yet or for what reason but I watch this n it gives me hope that maybe one day I'll have a purpose and make everyone truly proud.
You such a good dude man. I feel for this and it defines your lyrics and perspective. I’m from a family maybe not as dramatic but I’m sorry man. Mine father passed @lostinwoonsocket
