Hi, my name is Dave. I'm a Musician, Composer, Guitar, Piano & Bass tutor with over 15 years experience.

One of my films, called “Crumble”, is starring Amanda Hale and was selected for BAFTA, won the Silver Remi Award at the 50th Worldfest Houston Film Festival (USA) and was the Official Selection of the 17th East End Film Festival (London).

My musical journey began with playing guitar in local rock bands as a teenager. While starting out with fairly simple pop/rock songs, I slowly gravitated towards more progressive genres that allowed the fusion of my many musical influences, ranging from chamber music to hard rock, electronic and trip-hop.

Following my graduation from the Jerusalem Academy, where I received a degree in jazz and contemporary music, I became head of the Guitar department in the municipal conservatory of Ashkelon city.
There, among daily teaching duties, I would start writing orchestral arrangements for the annual graduation concerts.

At the age of 26, I formed an alternative band, along with which I was lucky enough to participate in many music festivals around the world and record three releases.

Lead single “Flush” from our debut album “These Faded Lines” gathered considerable radio airplay, which led to a deal with Kent-based management agency Factory Music ltd.

Around that time, I was also approached with a request to help to finalize the musical accompaniment in a couple of theater plays. That experience was so rewarding and refreshing that I started to explore scoring further, subsequently composing for many other productions outside of theater while combining traditional acoustic instruments with modern cutting-edge programming and synthesis.
