    David is now releasing DNA, his fourth U.S. release. The album, which is a program of mostly standards, is duo a project co-featuring Josh Nelson, the highly respected pianist, composer, and arranger, who has performed with some of the top names in jazz. Mon David sings straight from the heart. He is emotive without being cliched or pedantic. A trained instrumentalist as well as a vocalist with a wide range and excellent vocal control, his singing is endlessly improvisational and creative. His collaboration with Josh Nelson on DNA demonstrates that an entire symphony of sounds can be created by two seasoned, master musicians.

about

"The Filipino American singer is that rarity; a male jazz vocalist with a distinctly original style of his own - a remarkable voice able to leap octaves in a single bound, combined with a world class scat singing style." - Don Heckman, International Review of Music
 
Mon David (pronounced moan da-VID) had a successful career as a touring drummer and singer in the Philippines, recording and performing mostly pop music with popular groups that toured around the world. But the vocalist, composer, arranger, and musician decided to fulfill his dreams to pursue a career as a jazz vocalist, so he brought his family from the Philippines to the U.S. in 2007 and has since become a popular mainstay on the Southern California music scene. David is now releasing DNA, his fourth U.S. release. The album, which is a program of mostly standards, is duo a project featuring Josh Nelson, the highly respected pianist, composer, and arranger, who has performed with some of the top names in jazz. Mon David sings straight from the heart. He is emotive without being cliched or pedantic. A trained instrumentalist as well as a vocalist with a wide range and excellent vocal control, his singing is endlessly improvisational and creative. His collaboration with Josh Nelson on DNA demonstrates that an entire symphony of sounds can be created by two seasoned, master musicians.
