David Bergeaud is an award-winning composer, poly instrumentalist and record producer. He records and performs on a variety of exotic instruments (200+) from the middle east and India. His music is inspired by three decades of international travels, his European classical roots, and a lifelong love of jazz.

Over the course of his career, David has composed music for numerous award-winning film and television soundtracks, commercials, music for theater and stage performances.
