David grew up in the foster care system and credits his foster family for his love of music. He started songwriting in his 20’s after producing beats and becoming impatient with unfinished songs from songwriters. He was a dancer before producing and songwriting and he would experiment with different tracks for his dance classes. Some of his writing credits include Nipsey Hussle’s “Hussle N Motivate,” Ariana Grande’s “Honeymoon Avenue” and August Alsina ft. Nicki Minaj “No Love.” He lived in Los Angeles writing songs for eight years, but moved to Henderson for a slower pace of life. He still frequently visits Los Angeles for studio and writing sessions.
