Singing has been a major part of David’s life. His first public performance rumored to be as an infant singing “Baby Beluga,” after stealing the microphone on the Stanford Basketball Court.

Since then, David’s solo career brought him to Paris, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Severance Hall, Off-Broadway on 42nd Street, Mahalia Jackson Theatre, The Rady Shell in San Diego, and the Hollywood Bowl. 

He performed many world premieres with the LA Philharmonic, LA Master Chorale, Salastina, The Industry, and the LA Opera.

He worked with conductors Paolo Bortolameolli, Christian Campos, Gustavo Dudamel, Grant Gershon, Louis Langrée, Marc Lowenstein, Brent McMunn, Rafael Payare, Franz Welser-Möst, and Eric Whitacre.

In the dance world, he collaborated as a vocal soloist with the American Contemporary Ballet, Luminario Ballet, Mojacar Flamenco, and in residency with choreographer Jay Carlon as co-producer and narrator at LA Dance Project.

With writer William Nedved and Project Runway winner Kentaro Kameyama, David produced and performed the role of Lee “Alexander” McQueen in their show The Passion of McQueen and performed the role of Perseus in their show Medusa with Deaf West Theatre at the Getty Villa.  With Kentaro, David also produced and directed the fashion and art exhibition “for anna.”
