David Youngman

Hello, I am David Youngman of Hillsdale, MI. I am an instrumental fingerstyle guitarist. I've been performing professionally for over 15 years. My background includes a B.A. in Music Performance. I've also studied with many top musicians and guitarists include John Stropes, Rene Izquierdo, Brian Roberts, and Larry Williams.

I'm one of those musicians that finds it hard to lock down on one style. I love all styles of music. The music I perform is largely Jazz, Classical, Pop, Folk, and New Age styles. I perform pieces from the Classical and Fingerstyle guitar repertoire. I also perform Jazz standards and some Pop tunes. I have no problem arranging any Pop tunes or special requests you may have. I also have many original tunes that work great for weddings, background ambience, parties, and concerts.

My performing experience includes weddings, festivals, community concerts, corporate events, cruises, restaurants, and more. If you watch some of my videos you'll notice I use a lot of unique techniques that are entertaining to watch and the music is very high quality making it great for a main act or background music.

Since joining Gigmasters last year (2011) I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people at each wedding and party. It's so great that Gigmasters has created this way to bring clients and performers together in this way so the clients can find exactly what they are looking for. I hope to hear from you soon!

• David was an excellent performer in a concert-type setting. Everyone enjoyed his performance and he was very professional. We would love to have him perform here again sometime! -- Lora S, Fremont, MI, 4/17/2012
• This scale needs to have a sixth star for David. He was more than accomadting. He did not know the songs I requested, so he learned them, and drove 2 hours to my event! Truly a musician, not just a hobbiest. He was very professional, and delivered exactly what I was looking for. I will be hiring David for future events, and recommending him to all my friends and family. I am currently listening to his EP that he gave us after the event, and I am truly astounded by his talent. I can only see great things for his future as a musician. Thanks David. -- Patrick R, Troy, MI, 2/10/2012
