David was born in Madrid, Spain, while his parents, both flamenco dancers, were on tour with the internationally known Flamenco Dance Company, Pilar Lopez.
He has performed in New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Madrid, Seville, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Seattle and San Diego.
David’s inspirations come from Spanish gypsy guitar as well as the music of Masters-Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Gerardo Nunez and many more. He began studying at the age of ten under Protégées of Segovia and Romero Brothers quickly distinguishing himself for his technique and charisma.
Subsequently, as a lead performer in various festivals and theaters throughout the world, from Brazil to Spain he perfected his style that is now recognized as one of the best in the field, expressing the explosion of rhythms and emotions that contain the passion of the Spanish people.
