David Ramos was born in
Fullerton, California, United States, with both of his parents being professional opera singers. After playing at the parties of friends and at local
nightclubs in his teenage years, he turned fully professional when joining
James Harman's band in 1980. He stayed playing his guitar for Harman until 1988, when he briefly helped out with
Roomful of Blues. However, at this point, Ramos took a break from music to raise a family, and worked as a water delivery man. In 2009, Ramos backed
Bobby Jones at the
Notodden Blues Festival. In August 2012, Ramos was diagnosed with
Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, and underwent chemotherapy treatment the following month. He was expected to require radiotherapy, surgery and further chemotherapy during the course of the next twelve months. A medical appeal was launched to assist with the costs of his treatment. Kid Ramos received the Orange County Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Award on March 7, 2014. At the event he announced that he had completed his treatment and recovered from the cancer. ==Discography==
