However, owing to an illness, Wayne Dowlin had to stop performing with David but urged him to continue and not stop performing his music live.
David continued recording and performing his pulsating and vibrant solo shows in between performing as a duo. The artist released 4 CDs, with his most recent ‘Fiology’ offering audiences a retrospective of his music from 1996 to 2015, interspersed within alternate versions of songs, instrumentals, remixes, and acoustic, live, and electric versions.

Charged with the motivation to perform live, the artist dropped a large mix of originals and cover songs. He counts singer-songwriter, Todd Rundgren amidst his main inspirations, having seen him perform his original mixes over 85 times. Fiorenza also remains fascinated by The Mavericks and appreciates their characteristic sound, which lies at the crossroads of Americana and Country, encompassing ballads, dance tunes, and other diverse styles.
The artist continues to perform anywhere where there is an outlet. When he is not performing, he continues to develop the brand he created, Philly Area Music Reviews, on Facebook and Twitter. Most recently, Fiorenza expanded his brand to a podcast centered around music, musicians, and venues in the Philadelphia area.
