He continued his musical education at Cambridge University where he subsequently taught. After graduating, he moved to London and began a successful career writing music for TV shows and commercials. In 2006 David moved to LA to become an additional writer on a number of Harry Gregson-Williams’ scores including SHREK, GONE BABY GONE, FLUSHED AWAY, ARTHUR CHRISTMAS, PRINCE OF PERSIA and THE NUMBER 23.
