<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext">David was born in Cleveland, Ohio into a musical family. His older brother, Wayne, was minister of music at East Mount Zion Baptist Church where the family
attended and W.C. Handy was a cousin to their maternal grandmother. David began his professional career as a pianist for “The Gene Carroll/Entertainment Five Show” (WEWS-TV, ABC). In junior high school at the time, he was hired as music director for the last
five years of its run. During this time, he sang with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and studied piano and voice at Cleveland State University. David also attended Summer Music Academy in Hudson, Ohio. There, he studied choral conducting with William Appling
and Robert Shaw. David then left Cleveland to attend The University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music. While there, he worked on productions of
<i>Carousel; Flora, the Red Menace; Chess; Evita; Into the Woods; </i>and<i> Two Gentlemen of Verona</i>. In 1988, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Jazz and Studio Music. Upon graduation, he began three years of sailing around the world with Princess Cruises.
