David was born in Denver, Colorado on July 19, 1960 and raised in Oklahoma City. He was inspired to play the saxophone at the early age of twelve, by his father. In 1980 David joined The Joker's Wild, a ten-piece Top 40/R&B band performing around Oklahoma. During the three year stint with this band, David opened shows for Frankie Beverly and Maze, The Ohio Players, and Kool & the Gang.
In 1984, David founded the Funk/Dance band Prelude. Under his leadership, this group played Dallas and Ft. Worth's hottest clubs, performed all over the United States, and even traveled to Greenland to perform for the U.S. troops stationed there.
Over the years, David has also shared the stage with such contemporary jazz artists as Jonathan Butler, Joe McBride, Tom Scott, Fattburger, and Warren Hill, at the Dallas "Festival of Arts & Jazz".

David plays alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones, the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) as well as keyboards, a bit of drums if pressed, and sings. David loves working in the studio, but is happiest sharing his passions through his music live on stage in front of a dancing crowd.
David is always reed-deep in the studio recording tracks for upcoming projects. He writes almost non-stop for himself and clients. His greatest passions are for his own music, but David's talents allow him to write jingles, movie scores, or whatever he is called to write. Some may view David as a workaholic, but music is his life; the essence of his soul.
