David Scheffler

David Scheffler has been an innovative and creative force in contemporary music for more than two decades. Formative experiences all contributed to the evolution of his eclectic talents and a signature hybrid style. This included performing in a fusion band (opening for such names as Herbie Hancock, Ramsey Lewis, and the Dregs); his studies with honors at the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston; and his extensive work producing performers of diverse styles including R&B, hip-hop, pop, and world music. His successes are many and his compositions are heard often through the airwaves. His music has hit the charts and received such honors as a Grammy nomination. Wherever he focuses his extraordinary talents and experience, music that resonates energy, emotion, and impact is created. In recent years his attention has turned to composing for TV, video, and new media. David Scheffler composes compelling music that speaks of our changing times and complex lives.
