Born in Southend-on-Sea, England in 1981, David began learning the classical guitar at the age of seven. He later gained an interest for flamenco and jazz. He won his first guitar competition at the age of ten.  In 1997 David enlisted to study jazz and classical music at Leeds College of Music, England. He studied here for three years under the tutelage of Luigi Palumbo(classical guitar) and left with the much coveted college guitar prize.

David then went to further his studies in Seville, the capital of flamenco with guitarists such as Fran Cortés, Miguel Iglesias and Manuel Berraquero. David still studies the accompaniment of Cante and Baile in Seville.

Since beginning his study of classical guitar in Florence, Italy at the age of thirteen, Carlo Pezzimenti has worked successfully to impart his wealth of knowledge to students of the guitar, to further develop his artistry, and to share his musical philosophy with audiences around the world.   Summers, Pezzimenti attended Andrés Segovia's "Music in Compostela" festivals. Studying with the father of the classical guitar, he laid a strong foundation for his musical career. Pezzimenti continued his studies at Loyola University in Rome with Sergio Notaro. Later, he acquired a degree in music from the prestigious Morlacchi Conservatory in Perugia, and furthered his studies with Jose Tomás in Alicante, Spain.

After returning to the United States in 1974, he attended master classes with Jesús Silva, Oscar Ghighlia and Federico Moreno-Torroba. His private studies with Segovia continued from 1980 to 1985 during annual visits to Madrid.
