Nashville-based cinematic and orchestral composer, producer, and arranger. I write original music, create cinematic versions of songs, and work with artists and composers on string arrangements, orchestral production, and mixing.
I work on full cinematic productions as well as individual arrangements and contributions to existing projects.
For artists and producers, I write string and orchestral arrangements, develop instrumental parts, and produce cinematic versions of songs. For other composers, I offer orchestral and hybrid production, arranging, and mixing. I also create trailer arrangements.
My background includes string arranging and production for artists, scoring the feature film Dream Man and short films, and composing music licensed through Musicbed. My own music spans orchestral, cinematic, and neo-classical work, including productions that combine acoustic instruments with electronic sounds.

Another time working with David was amazing, quick and very clear in communication. He knows exactly what he wants. Great Arrangements and amaying sound. It was an honor to contribute some flute parts to his Orchestral Work.
Anytime welcome again! - check_circleVerified
An great string arrangement was requested from my side and what I got was an outstanding amazing Arrangement, recorded and premixed with great Library orchestration. He felt exactly the vibe and knew where to use what in the song. I gave him total freedom to do what he would think is the best and that was a great choice and is very recommendable. I will definitely recommend his work and hire david as soon as possible again.

It was a real pleasure working with David a.Molina, He provided a very tasteful film-music track an outstanding Arrangement. beautifully orchestrated. I was asked to play a certain Part with flutes and piccolo, based on a midi file. Communication was clear and david always replied super fast. I highly recommend workig with such a pro! Hope the future will give another chance to work with him soon!
Recorded strings for one of David's project, and it was beautifully orchestrated, and had a really nice attention to mood, pacing, and texture. Great composer and excited to work with him again.
I contacted David about mixing a short film I composed after my usual mix engineer fell through. David delivered and I can definitely say that I will be returning for future services. He’s a talented musician with a great ear. A stellar collaborator.
David has arranged strings and done production for many of my projects. He is a phenomenal composer and overall musician. David is so musical and creative, his choices in sound and the way he develops the story of a song is extremely captivating. Highly recommend reaching out to him for work!
I've worked with David on two short films now and loved both experiences. He has strong emotional intelligence alongside his excellent musicianship. Highly recommend working with him!
