David's long career in the entertainment business started at London's prestigious Italia Conti Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts where he trained for three years. This prepared him for many acting roles and a spell with the respected 'Break a Leg' touring theatre company. David's favourite role was as the drunken (it was real alcohol!) Doc Pearce in 'Calamity Jane' directed by Chris Wallis at the famous Unicorn theatre in the heart of London. During this period David also appeared in various pantomimes throughout the country. Television appearences include 'Lovejoy' and 'Inspector Allan' for the BBC and most recently 'Never Never' for Channel Four.

However it is as a cabaret performer that David is best known and particularly for his tribute to the legendary - FRANK SINATRA.

Initially David was part of the popular duo 'That's Swing' playing cocktail music for corporate events hotels and restaurants. Then as a solo performer he appeared with his own trio at many jazz venues across Britain. This trio featured the cream of British jazz: Bobby Worth Brian Dee and Matt Miles and was often augmented by the likes of Digby Fairweather and Spike Robinson. Around this time David headlined to wide acclaim at the world famous Cafe Royal - Green Room he went on to spend some time as compere at the venue and it was during one of these engagements that Las Vegas legend Buddy Greco said of David "This guy really is Sinatra"

As an accomplished compere David went on to fill the same role at Chaplins night-club in London's West-end and followed this with a season at The Westlodge in Upminster. David has also appeared as a guest vocalist with stars such as the late Ruby Murray Lionel Blair George Williams Charlie Smithers and the Beverley Sisters. He has completed various seasons including British Holidays and Shearings Hotel group and is proud of his association with Noel Edmonds Airbourne Charity. In the recording arena David was a featured vocalist at the age of only seventeen on the album 'Here's to the band' featuring Don Lusher Kenny Baker and a full orchestra conducted and produced by Nick Ingman.

Known on the circuit as Britains Number one tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes David has toured Britain with his show 'Frank Sinatra - His Way' and visited Denmark and Sweden with the 'Salute to Sinatra'. More appearances followed with Charlie Moon's theatre tribute to The Rat Pack and a sequal to this starring David as Sinatra with tributes to Sammy Davis Dean Martin and Judy Garland from 'Stars in Their Eyes' premiered at the Thamseide theatre in Grays last year. Constantly in demand as Sinatra David recently played to 5000 people at an event sponsored by Nortel at the prestigious Alexandra Palace in London. This was followed by a sell-out show with Nova Casper as Tina Turner and Gerry Trew as Rod Stewart - 'TINA ROD & FRANK' at The Dominion Theatre in London's West-end. Most recently David has toured as Sinatra in the Production of The Rat Pack and was featured by The Sun Newspaper for the phone in version of "Mandelson's Way" - (My Way with new lyrics by Richard Littlejohn).

As a result of his incredible similarity to Sinatra's voice, David has been used as Frank Sinatra in various radio advertising campaigns and he has been seen by millions of television viewers on 'London Tonight' and 'Barrymore' for ITV. Before David's performance of 'The Lady is a Tramp' with a big band led by Don Hunt on the popular Barrymore show, Michael introduced him as "Britain's answer to Harry Connick Jnr".

This compliment has a lot of fact in it, as both Harry and David have achieved so much at still a relatively young age and both are keeping the music of Sinatra and the other great swing/jazz singers of the twentieth century alive.

Over recent weeks David has also recorded a new version of "New York New York" with a 35 piece orchestra at Abbey Road studios for the new Atari PC Game "Tycoon City - New York".
