David’s incredible swinging style has been compared in the UK’s national newspapers and Jazz press, to Jazz icons such as , Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker and Mel Tormé, but his approach, while having one foot firmly in the traditions of the classic Jazz singer, he is constantly finding ways of exploring the classic songs and making them fresh, innovative and fun.
From the grandeur of venues such as the RTE Concert Ortchestra’s home in Dublin’s famous National Concert hall and to the intimacy of the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz club in London David loves playfully connecting with audiences and delighting them with a spontaneous and innovative approach to Classic Jazz standards that always surprises and delights the listener.
David has vocally wowed audiences worldwide from New York to London and from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. His unique approach to the voice and innovative use of loops, vocal harmony and beat boxing integrated into live performances with his trio makes him stand head and shoulders above the rest of his contemporaries.
