David Anthony Burke (born March 28, 2005), known professionally as D4vd, is an American singer-songwriter. Born in New York City and raised in Houston, Texas, Burke began composing music in 2021 for his Fortnite gameplay montages. He first achieved commercial success with his 2022 singles "Romantic Homicide" and "Here with Me", both of which earned multiple platinum certifications. In 2023, he released the EPs Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals; the former charted in six territories. In 2025, he released his debut studio album, Withered, which peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard 200.

In September 2025, the dismembered body of a 14-year-old girl was discovered inside a vehicle registered to Burke. Following the identification of the body as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, his ongoing tour and a planned deluxe reissue of Withered were canceled. He was arrested on April 16, 2026, on suspicion of murdering Rivas and is being held without bail. On April 20, Burke was charged with first-degree murder of Rivas with special circumstances, lewd and lascivious acts with an individual under 14, and mutilating a body. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

David Anthony Burke was born on March 28, 2005, in Queens, New York City, the son of Colleen and Dawud Burke. His family later moved to Houston, Texas. After seventh grade, he was homeschooled.

He is a Christian, stating in an interview with Astrophe Magazine, "I get my personal power from God for sure. Heavy believer in the Christian faith."
