Bio

David Lopez Tichy was born and raised in Chicago in the mid ’70s. Tinkering with a keyboard by age 5, he took to music and art at an early age. David started out on the trumpet in grade school, then moved up to bass guitar in junior high school. During these early years, he was also awarded an open-ended scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago, where he spent his weekends studying art and design and wandering the museum and catacombs.

Throughout high school he honed his ear and musicianship in project after project of music from punk to jazz to progressive. After receiving an academic scholarship, he studied music theory and played upright bass in the concert orchestra and jazz band at the University of Toledo, OH.

After relocating to Los Angeles in 1996, he took part in countless musical projects and groups. From rock bands to electronic avant-garde music, David immersed himself fully in the ever-evolving art of sound, and was consistently hailed for his musicianship.

One day by chance, a filmmaker friend of David’s roommate caught him writing music and brought him on board to score one of his short films. This was the spark that would ignite David’s passion for scoring to picture, and they would work on several more projects together. As of this writing, he’s scored over a dozen films, and composed & produced hundreds of hours of music throughout his career.

David currently lives in Long Beach, CA with his wife Ana and cat, Pico.
