David's love of music and singing started from an early age, and he was an enthusiastic member of various choirs and orchestras as part of the Redbridge Music School in north-east London.  At the University of Southampton, David joined the Symphonic Wind Orchestra before later joining Jazzmanix, the university pop and gospel choir, where he first gained experience of leading a choir. 

The Jazzmanix choir that David led had over 100 members, and performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, and the Vienne Jazz Festival, as well as several successful performances at the Turner Sims Concert Hall in Southampton and other venues across Hampshire.  David then moved back to London and after leading a Marylebone-based community choir for several years, he joined London Contemporary Voices in 2014 as a singer. 

In autumn 2014, LCV created a second choir due to the amazing number of singers keen to join, and in January 2015 David was appointed as the Musical Director of this new group of singers.  Working closely with LCV's founders, under his musical direction the group, now known as LCV Kin Choir, have gone from strength to strength, giving high quality and energetic performances at venues such as Union Chapel, Oval Space, the Laundry, the Round Chapel in Hackney, as well as several festivals both in the UK and abroad. 

As a performer with London Contemporary Voices, David David also leads choirs in prisons as part of Liberty Choir UK, and with children in schools across Surrey as part of ChoirBLAST.
