Toronto based (Brit ex-pat) David Shaw is an exceptional artist, wordsmith & producer. The one time ‘Young Jazz Musician Of The Year’ studied at the University of London garnering an honors degree in music. Born in Birmingham, Shaw was immersed in the finer points of musicianship from an early age as all his immediate family were professional musicians. This stewardship paid big dividends, as he won the above mentioned Greater London Arts award with his bebop quartet!
Moving to North America David honed in on his production & song writing mantra which propelled him to a #1 platinum hit “Love Makes No Promises” CANDI (SOCAN Songwriter of the Year), a number of Top 10 hits have followed including Always Missing You, Friends Forever, Fight Another Round. Not one to rest on his laurels, he then turned his sights to scoring for television at an international level. Cyberchase PBS & Masterminds are just two of the many animated and dramatic Network T.V. shows he has given his ‘magic-touch’ to.
Following a period of travel, David is back and fully focused on his love of popular song and jazz performance, writing, programming and production…as well as taking centre stage with his own vocal interpretations. He has also formed an alliance with Slammin Media which includes artist development, production, co-writing and performance.
