"Music is the magic dust of movies" - George Lucas ~ "Music represents the words that can't be spoken" - Alfred Hitchcock
Hi, I'm David!
I bring stories to life through music — crafting bold, evocative scores that hit every emotional beat and elevate the vision of directors and producers worldwide. From high-stakes drama to deep emotions, from comedy to heart-pounding action, and more! I thrive on diving deep into a project’s soul and delivering music that doesn’t just support the picture… it brings it to life!
"I believe that music is one of the most important tools in a filmmaker's toolbox. It is the soul that brings the production to life. That's why I am so passionate about the scoring process. It's really about the willingness to listen to the filmmaker and understand how music, in whatever style, should serve and support the story. It's about being a partner and collaborator in the creative process. It's about trust and being easy, pleasant, and fun to work with. It's about years of award-winning experience honing a craft, and it's about being able to deliver a world-class product on time and on budget." As Alfred Hitchcock once said, "Music represents the words that can't be spoken."
Years of critical acclaim and wins at prestigious festivals (including Best Composer and Best Original Score honors) have honed my ability to move seamlessly across genres while staying laser-focused on storytelling.
Known for being collaborative to the core—efficient, flexible, passionate, and genuinely fun to work with—I’m the composer directors call when they want world-class music creativity delivered on time, on budget, and with heart.
Chances are, your favorite shows, films, or brands have already felt the impact of my work. Ready to bring your next project to life with amazing music scoring? Let’s create something unforgettable!

"Working with David was an absolute pleasure, and it couldn't have been any smoother. Not only did he deliver the music in an extremely timely fashion, he was also very receptive of any feedback or any notes we had. Perhaps most appreciated, however, is the level of care and attention to detail David uses, whether it's in the spotting session or in the tracks themselves. He's by far the most collaborative composer I've worked with thus far!" - Alec Bewkes - Director, Poot Tax Film
"I could go on and on with praise for David's incredible ear for music and the talented gifts he has as a composer, but I want to take a moment to highlight David as a creative collaborator. It has been such a joy working with David on our film, and while his beautiful score not only elevated the overall quality of the movie, his constant encouragement and support of the project are what has meant the most to me. David was patient and flexible throughout the entire process, revising and collaborating alongside me to make sure that we were all coming out of it feeling as happy as possible with the final product. David truly cares about his work and it shows in not just the quality of his scores, but in the joy he'll bring you throughout the creative process." - Aria Inthavong - Director, "Nowhere Men" Film
"Wow. Sitting here crying. It is absolutely beautiful!!! To say you are amazing is the least descriptive word I could use to describe your unbelievable talent and professionalism. I can't believe the effect your music has on the scenes and the entire film as a whole! It's magic really. Your score has made this movie so powerful. I'm humbled that you shared your talent with me and my film. It's breathtaking. So honored Dave." - Christine Altan - Director, Altan Films - Film "Namaste"
"David has been blessed with a gift of being able to transcend the feelings of characters on-screen through music, allowing the audience to ride those waves of emotions as they watch the story unfold. My ask for David was to create a soundtrack for the film that would represent the overall tragic story and serve as an emotional and memorable soundtrack. I am happy to say our objective was exceeded!" - Ahmed-El Mawas - Director, Film "A Love Story"
