An emerging composer of contemporary flamenco, David began his musical studies at the age of 4 with the piano. His musical wanderings converged in Granada, Spain, where he studied for years under Rafaelin Habichuela, Emilio Maya, Ramon del Paso, Pascual de Lorca, Paco Cortes (of Sevilla) and Jason McGuire (while in California). David continues to make return trips to Spain to further his inspiration and mastery. In addition to his extensive work in traditional and theatrical flamenco productions, David also performs with an array of diverse musicians, forming unique Jazz, Middle Eastern and flamenco-influenced ensembles. His compositional works include the scores for 3 contemporary versions of adapted Spanish literary classics including a 2006 Theatre of Yugen production of Don Quixote, and a 2007 Shotgun Players' production of Garcia Lorca's, "Blood Wedding" (done in collaboration with Yaelisa). His 2007 debut CD release called "Found in Spain" (2007), a series of original pieces rooted in traditional flamenco forms, was produced by Jason McGuire and largely recorded at the studio of rock legend and flamenco enthusiast, Jackson Browne. Currently he is producing a 2nd CD of original works, and holds guitar lessons both privately and in workshops throughout the Bay Area.
