Description:

David is a talented pop/rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist based in Washington, DC, who has been compared to a combination of Cat Stevens and Adam Levine. He has had the privilege of opening for and performing with a diverse array of solo acts and full bands, including Maroon 5, Toby Keith, Owl City, Journey, and Eric Hutchinson, amongst others. David has also been featured by notable organizations such as the Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals, and the Citi Open (formerly the Legg Mason Tennis Classic).

David has an extensive collection of over 500 solo songs, ranging from acoustic pop classics of the '60s up to contemporary songs, as well as original material in the singer-songwriter genre. He can perform using various formats, from solo to a full 4-piece rock band.

David's priority is always to understand the vibe of the event and cater to it accordingly. For instance, some occasions like weddings and cocktail hours, require a more subdued, intimate performance to create a relaxing atmosphere. Others like bars and clubs, call for an energetic, lively, and engaging performance that gets people up and dancing. David is well-equipped to provide either a blend of both depending on the occasion, the mood, and preferences.

We were thoroughly impressed with David's performance! We had specifically requested a guitarist for both our ceremony and reception, and David certainly exceeded our expectations. The live music during happy hour was a hit with our guests and created the perfect atmosphere for the rest of the night. What's more, David had an extensive collection of songs to choose from, making it easy for us to select the ones we wanted for the ceremony. He has a tremendous ability to understand the vibe of the room, which made for a highly personalized experience. If you're seeking a versatile, accommodating, and gifted musician for your event, we highly recommend David!

For our daughter's birthday party, David entertained us once again, and it was a delightful experience with his live music! He boasts an extensive catalog of popular songs and even performed nursery rhymes and a few Christmas classics, given the occasion. I'm thrilled that we made our celebration all the more special with his performance! We can't wait to have him back for another show!

When looking for live music, I was overwhelmed by the numerous options available to me, just like you. After some research, I narrowed my options down to a DJ and David's guitar and vocal performance. David had impressive reviews, which convinced me to choose him. Our group was diverse, ranging from people in their early 20's to late 60's, but David managed to get everyone moving with his modern and nostalgic tunes. He also played social ballads to create a relaxing atmosphere and had a remarkable ability to read the room. Sadly, the night had to end, but David surprised us with a fantastic final performance of "Istanbul," which kept us dancing until the very end. Many people approached me to express how incredible David's performance was, and I can guarantee you will hear the same if you decide to hire him. David is a tremendously talented musician who generously played for us all night long. He is not only musically gifted but also a kind and courteous person. I highly recommend booking David for your future events before someone else does, as he is undoubtedly a first-class performer. Thank you, David, for creating memories that will last a lifetime!
