David made my party a huge success. I highly recommend him

I had a large birthday party, with professional, internationally known musicians in attendance. Everybody enjoyed his music, and he puts the crowd at ease. David is an extremely talented musician and vocalist. Don't look any further. Hire David. You will not regret it.

Amazing singer and guitarist!

I asked David to sing the Beatles song "When I'm 64" at my husband's 64th birthday party. David learned this song and delivered it flawlessly for our party in only a few days. He was very professional and was flexible on revising the time when requested. Everyone loved the performance, especially my husband who was quite surprised when he arrived.He's a very talented musician and singer and I recommend him highly. Thank you again David! 5 Stars! *****

Masterful accompaniment

David was very professional. Though it was his first Indian gig, he played mindfully. His acoustic guitar sounded very clean and pure. I enjoyed singing with his masterful accompaniment.

What to expect

Clients can expect the ultimate in professionalism combined with excellent music and a courteous,well dressed and personable entertainer. I show up early, start playing on time, keep my breaks to 15 minutes, interface well with clients and provide the highest caliber of music at every event. I am committed to playing great every time and never just "go through the motions" when I am performing- wether it be for 5 people or 5,000. There is no excuse for not giving 1000% every time I pick up my guitar and the musicians I bring to play with me know that they are expected to do the same - and they do. Every event planner that hires me knows that once I am on the job they have one less thing to worry about as the music provided will be a success in every way.

Simultaneously David also has been performing in a wide range of private events- everything from corporate events, weddings and private parties to trade shows and seminars.
