David Aaron Greenberg has released new single “Snap Shot.” Greenberg is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, singer-songwriter, visual creator and one of the last protégés of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. “Sure Shot is off his forthcoming album, Trap Poems, the project was created in collaboration with producer and longtime collaborator David Sisko.

“Sure Shot” Follows previous singles “Chill,” and “Streets,” Greenberg now unveils the release’s focus track, “Snap Shot.” The track is both provocative and disarming, weaving moments of raw sincerity into a rhythmic, poetic framework. His distinctive blend of hip-hop and spoken word pulls listeners in with its rhythm, only to catch them off guard with a striking line or sudden turn of phrase. With Trap Poems, Greenberg builds on contemporary oral traditions, positioning his work within the lineage of jazz and Nuyorican poets of the late 20th century.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Greenberg played a meaningful role in New York’s downtown cultural scene. In the early ’90s he curated performance events at CB’s Gallery featuring notable figures such as Herbert Huncke, Taylor Mead, Tuli Kupferberg, and Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo. As an independent curator he presented exhibitions at Pat Hearn Gallery alongside Diego Cortez, as well as numerous pop up shows in Chelsea.

In 2003 he founded mad little gallery, a conceptual space devoted to smaller-scale artworks, where he organized exhibitions with artists including Darren Bader, Melissa Brown, Jon DeCola, George Condo, Ryan McGinley, and Dash Snow. Later, in the late 2000s, he co-curated Casual Disco, a monthly art and music salon in Chinatown showcasing artists such as Brian Belott, Lance de los Reyes, Carlton DeWoody, and Mordechai Rubinstein.

Greenberg’s own drawings and paintings have been exhibited at galleries throughout New York City. His portrait of Allen Ginsberg is held in the permanent collection at Stanford University, and his artwork appears in numerous private collections, including those of Diego Cortez and John Cheim.

He is the co-author of Strange Messenger: The Work of Patti Smith (Andy Warhol Museum) and has contributed essays to catalogues for artists including Donald Baechler and Roy Nachum.

A graduate of Rutgers University and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, David Aaron Greenberg currently lives in New Jersey and maintains a presence in New York City
