David Lawlor
Composer

David has no memory of life without music.  At six years old, he began playing piano.  Far from a typical student, his music teachers often chastised him for changing passages he didn’t like or composing his own melodies instead of practicing the pieces assigned to him.  Ever grateful to his mother (and the kitchen oven timer) for his profound basis in musical theory, he applied this to become an accomplished multi-instrumentalist playing almost anything with keyboards or strings. He plied his trade as a studio musician in Montreal and acted as an invited arranger and musical director on a project in Nashville. He was the first foreign musician invited to perform in Jilin City, Jilin province, People’s Republic of China and has performed in Belgium and Ireland.  David continues to perform across Canada with the award-winning French traditional music ensemble La Raquette à Claquettes.

David maintains a national reputation as a talented film and television composer. He successfully uses the Internet and new technologies to work with clients from Vancouver to Montreal. He composed the music for the multimedia play Via le Net which was performed internationally on the Internet and his compositions for Radio Canada and several Home and Garden Network productions, including its hit series Home to Go, are broadcast on cable networks around the world.
