More than just a keyboard player, David

him an Emmy nomination, critical acclaim and numerous awards, he has proven
himself to be a versatile composer, keyboardist, artist, and producer in a wide range

David has touched an astonishing number of musical bases
in his career and continues to grow as a composer, musician and producer.
David started playing keyboards at two years old,
performed concerts around the world at age seven and released his first record
at 16. He grew up in New England and comes from a musical family. His
grandfather was a guitar player for Gene Autry's Cowboy Band and an artist in
