David Cicero

David John Cicero (born May 29, 1970, Greenport, New York, United States) is a Scottish-American singer and keyboardist who was signed in 1991 to Spaghetti Records, a record label owned by Pet Shop Boys. Releasing material as Cicero, he went on to have minor success in the early 1990s.

Career Cicero was born in Long Island, but when his parents divorced, he moved to Livingston, Scotland. In 1987, his school band Pneumatic Beat came third in a Battle of the Bands competition encouraging Cicero to become a musician full time. In 1989, he attended a Pet Shop Boys concert in Glasgow and gave a demo tape to Peter Andreas, Pet Shop Boys' personal assistant. Andreas contacted Cicero with an offer of artist management and later, when Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe heard Cicero's material, they signed him up to their recently formed Spaghetti label, licensed through Polydor.

Cicero released his debut single "Heaven Must Have Sent You Back to Me" on August 12, 1991. Despite promotion from the artist and Pet Shop Boys, the single failed to chart. The follow-up, "Love Is Everywhere", reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1992 and may have charted higher, as Cicero saw his Top of the Pops slot dropped at the last minute to make room for Michael Jackson's 10-minute video for "Black or White". The third single release was "That Loving Feeling" which reached number 46 in April 1992.

In 2021, he released Today the follow-up to Future Boy, his first new album in 29 years, which included "In the Rain (Children of Today)", a single recorded with his 8-year-old daughter Holly and "Wish" with Amy Maeve Ballie, a Livingston-based artist who plays in Cicero's band. In 2022, Cicero released an instrumental album project called Atmospheric with singles such as "When Love Fades Away".
