He is an Artist Faculty at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore (YST); works at the Music & Drama Company; and is a part-time presenter with Symphony 924.

David graduated with a Bachelor’s of Music in classical violin performance at YST. He went on to the Yale School of Music to obtain a Master’s of Music in classical violin, followed by a Master’s of Music in jazz performance from the New England Conservatory of Music.

As a performer, David traverses solo and chamber classical repertoire as well as pop and jazz band settings alike. He is a founding member of the fusion quintet Lorong Boys, and is frequently called as a soloist, chamber player and session musician. Complementing these are his passions for producing and arranging, drawing from his varied musical experience.

David has had the good fortune of studying with Sylvia Khoo, Lynette Lim, Qian Zhou, Ani Kavafian, Brian Levy, Jerry Bergonzi, Frank Carlburg, Can Olgun, and Tony Makarome. He plays on a 1933 Giovanni Pistucci on generous loan from the Rin Collection.
