David did an amazing job setting the mood with his songs & played the type of music we asked for even an added song which I requested specifically for my husband. All our guests enjoyed the RnB & Motown hits! Thank you David!

October 1, 2024A great performance
We hired David to play piano at my daughter’s engagement party. We asked him to play a more popular repertoire and he delivered exactly what we asked. He was very punctual and was responsive to any questions we had. I would not hesitate to hire David for another event.

About
David’s biggest passion has always been to create and play music that moves people and to teach others to do the same. Trained classically on the piano from age 7, David began to expand his repertoire to jazz, pop, rock and bossa nova in high school. Throughout university and beyond, David loved exploring music from other cultures, such as klezmer, salsa, Turkish folk, and French chanson.
