David loves the rush of jumping into all the various Hollywood projects around town or from his home studio. Grateful for his upbringing in the musically eclectic city of New Orleans, he embodies and delivers dozens of genres of music. He credits his high level of musicianship from his decade as a member of the Los Angeles Master Chorale combined with a solo career mostly in 20th & 21st century music. He has sung pieces from the key of C Major to the atonal/microtonal/overtone-al. He also trained for years and has many credits in voiceover, skills he translated into Sound-Alike and Voice Matching singing projects. He gears up in the studios as a soloist and/or group singer for feature films, tv, streaming, video game, commercial, and album soundtracks and on-camera for other singing actor spots.
