Bio: (6/09)
David Wahler began his musical career at the age of 7 playing the piano "by ear". Years of summer music clinics and acadamies at various universities culminated in his studying piano performance at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music and Mannes College of Music in New York. David then began serving as a musical director Off Broadway. In the Chicago area, he played with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra as well as teaching music appreciation to disadvantaged and handicapped children.
In the 80' and 90's David pursued successful careers in design and retail. But even with material success, he felt something was missing in the general tone of his life. Realizing that he had been creatively silenced far too long, David enrolled in the Berklee College of Music's Electronic Music Production program. It is there that he honed his skills as an electronic artist and married it with his exceptional keyboard talents. Drawing upon the influence of Eric Satie, Fabriel Faure, Stravinski, Brian Eno, Richard Bone, Kitaro and Vangellis David began to create his own classic style.
It is impossible to categorize the rich melodies and intricate orchestrations as simply New Age or ambient. They are a genre as unique as the artist himself.
David currently lives in Southern California with his two shrewdest critics, his West Highland Terriers, Bingo and Coal.
