Originally from Hempstead, New York David has spent a number of years as a jazz bassist. He studied Computer Science at St. John's University in Jamaica Queens, but during that time he was starting to build his bass playing experience around the greater New York area. Mainly self-taught, he had the opportunity to study with bassist Cecil Mcbee. In his early years he worked with a number of established artists including Talib Qadir, Cecil Bridgewater, Bill Saxton, Billy Mitchell along with the late Walter Davis Jr., Charlie Persip and the one and only Betty Carter. Prior to joining Betty Carter, he was the bassist in Charlie Persip's "SuperBand", a big band that consisted of many established jazz artists. Following that experience he joined the Betty Carter trio. While touring with Betty Carter he originally played with the late pianist Khalid Moss and drummer Lewis Nash before eventually playing with pianist Benny Green. Working with Betty Carter during that period gave him a wealth of valuable musical knowledge which provided a solid foundation for his future career. He recently performed with legendary saxophonist Billy Harper and his group.
He eventually moved to Atlanta where he now resides. While working with local jazz musicians, his desire to play bass, write and arrange music continued to build. This led to the creation of the group CreativeTone. He has written a number of original songs, which are captured on the debut album titled "Back on Track" and the latest album "Next Step". The musicians on these albums consist of Raquel Lozano (vocals), Derrick James (aax), Joel Stewart (piano) and Tracy Williams (drums). The latest album "Next Step" features Fareed Mahluli (sax).
