David’s first gig was in June of 1977 at the Bishop Elementary School kindergarten graduation. His father, Marty Flores, helped him load his gear into the classroom and cued up the groove on the record player. Since that day, David has continued to perform. Moving to the Bay Area in 1994 by way of Fresno and the Peninsula, David has contributed to the music scene alongside a multitude of musicians. These contributions have come in the form of Afro-Caribbean, Brazilian, Rock, Soul, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Fusion, Reggae, and Rudimental styles.
