David produced on and mixed four seasons of the Fox hit series Empire, which received Emmy nominations for “Hemingway” and “Come Undone”. David was also an integral part of the Grammy Nominated Empire album that beat out Madonna’s Rebel Heart to earn the #1 slot on the Billboard 200 album charts. He went on to produce several songs with Empire star Jussie Smollett’s— who plays Jamal Lyon— solo record. “Ha Ha (I Love You)” broke the Billboard R&B Adult Songs Top 20 in November of 2018. David also recently played keys and added additional production for A Tribe Called Quest, "Footprints" ft.
