David loves what he does and he's excellent at it. He took my song and wrote a completely perfect horn arrangement for it. Very little guidance...he knew exactly what to do. He provided all the parts and score which made it very easy to pass on to other musicians as well as playing several parts himself. He then took all the parts and made sure they were all blending perfectly and sent them back ready to go. Highly recommended.

To say David did a great job on my project would be an understatement. He blew it out of the water. From his communication, professionalism, to his raw talent as an arranger and performer, there really was no better option. After sharing an amazing MIDI composition, he was able to bring in two other live musicians and keep it within my budget. The end result was a beautifully arranged and executed horn section for my song. Look no further for a horn arranger. I found my go-to horn guy for sure!

David is great to work with! He is quick to respond, shares ideas, and is very flexible. He did a great job producing a MIDI recreation of the big band song I wanted. When I decided the sound I was looking for probably can't be achieved with MIDI (even if well done, as David's version was!), David came up with some possible solutions for me. Definitely use David for your next project - he will make sure you get a great result!

David is able to create musically, a fabulous radio-ready demo quickly whilst interpreting my dodgy "bedroom" demos. He's going to be my essential go to person for other future hits :)

David is an amazing composer who understands perfectly the art of scoring a cartoon – especially when your two main characters are trying to kill each other! The time and effort he put into helping me out with the score for my first animated short was second-to-none, and I’ll definitely be calling on his services again in the future. If you need any kind of music for your cartoon, he’s your guy!

David was a dream to work for- clear and detailed instructions before recording even began which minimised the need for any amendments, and a true professional throughout. Would definitely recommend!

Great production taste and style as well as lyrics and melody. I was super impressed with the catchy-ness of the song and how clever and well written the lyrics were. Highly recommend on production/ and top lining.
