Born in New York City and raised on Long Island, David showed signs of "things to come" by conducting his parent's classical records and mimicking Frank Sinatra on the playroom table. An avid fan of both Broadway and Rock 'n' Roll, David could often be found entertaining his neighbors by putting on shows for them in the backyard. His first public performances before large audiences were singing duets with his father in the Synagogue choir and before long, he learned to play the piano and taught himself to play guitar and drums. By age 14, David began writing and recording his first songs.

As a teen, he was the lead singer with the Cincinnati group, "East Orange Express," whose members went on to become the band, "Pure Prairie League". At age 19, MCA /Decca records signed David to a multi-album contract during which time he recorded two highly acclaimed albums, "New Blues," and "Time To Fly" (the latter, featuring jazz greats Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Eddie Gomez and Airto). During that period he set out on tour throughout America as opening act for the likes of Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Badfinger, Three Dog Night and The Doors (post-Jim Morrison), and gained a devoted following. In the late 70's and early '80s, David released two more albums, "It's In Every One Of Us" (Arista) and "The Truth Of Us" (Pacific/ WEA) - which David co-produced with legendary Paul Simon producer, Roy Halee - and shared the stage with Steely Dan, George Benson, Kenny Loggins, Phoebe Snow, Steve Martin, Laura Nyro, Melissa Manchester, Randy Newman, The Carpenters and Air Supply.

In the late 1980s, David developed a close friendship with Russian rock star, Alexander Malinin, and out of this the two artists collaborated on a powerful "pre-glasnost" duet recording entitled "Faraway Lands" (Cypress/A&M), one of the first such collaborations in history. Recorded in both Moscow and L.A., David and Alexander premiered the song live from Moscow's Gorky Park on an episode of the hit series, "Head Of The Class". The show was broadcast to 40 million viewers on U.S. television and was the first American production to be shot in the "new Russia." The song was also included in the star-studded Cypress/A&M album compilation, "Critic's Choice".

Through the 1990's, aside from composing songs for Film, Television and Musical Theater. David toured extensively throughout the world in such distinguished concert venues as: The Hollywood Bowl, Kennedy Center, London's Hippodrome, Buddakan Hall in Tokyo, Olympic Stadium in Munich, Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines, The Universal Amphitheater, and The Kremlin. During this period, David and Oscar winner, David Shire, co-wrote the theme song for the

United Nations World Summit For Children entitled, "In Our Hands"; which the two performed both at The U.N. and at the Closing ceremonies for Ted Turner's Goodwill Games in Seattle. In 1999, David was approached by MCA Universal Records, Asia who signed him to record a new solo CD, "Born For You - His Best And More" - a collection of his love songs, past and present.

At this writing, "Born For You" has sold over 500,000 units in the Philippines alone where it has become the best selling album of all time in the history of that country. His subsequent Universal recordings, "The Eyes Of Christmas" and "On This Day," were released in 2000 and 2001 respectively.

Most recently, David is the composer of two exciting new musicals written with Lyricist/Bookwriter Kathie Lee Gifford. The first, "Under The Bridge" (based on the Newbury Award-winning book "The Family Under The Bridge"), had its New York premiere Off-Broadway at the Zipper Theatre in January 2005. The second, "Saving Aimee" (based on the life of Evangelist, Aimee Semple Macpherson) had its World Premiere at the White Plains Performing Arts Center in October, 2005 and is being readied for a new production at the Signature Theatre in Virginia in Spring of 2007.
