Dave began his music career at

the age of 10 as a soloist in professional

choirs, highlighted by his acceptence to the

New York City Opera Children's Choir.

At the same time Dave began to study guitar and went

on to pursue guitar as his major in college.

He attended Syracuse University

classical and jazz guitar performance under

guitarist Carlo Manobianco. Dave completed his study

Dave feels much of his success as a

commercial composer stems from his versatility.

He enjoys writing in many styles ranging from electronica

to orchestral, as well as his specialty of guitar driven

styles like rock and folk. "I love the challenge of having to

write in a particular genre, be it ska, blues, Motown,

80's pop, dance, classical or whatever.

Finding what gave them their unique sounds,

rhythms and harmonies and recreating them is something

I enjoy and feel I do well"

Dave is also writing and recording

original songs which he plans to release on

cd in the near future.
