Of Jewish, Sicilian and Albanian background, David Goldman grew up in
a house rich with classical, opera, popular, blues and international folk
music. He was playing recognizable melodies on the piano at a very early
age and was taken to many concerts as a child. David’s musical influences
and tastes run from Stevie Wonder, Howlin’ Wolf, the Rolling Stones,
Joni Mitchell, Richie Havens, Tim Buckley and Frank Sinatra to Ravi Shankar,
Bob Dylan, Arabic singer Om Khalsoum, Portuguese singer Amalia Rodriguez
and Italian tenor Carlo Buti. As a student in Friends World College (now part of LIU), David studied
music, language and photography for three and a half years in India (Sitar
and Vocal), Japan (Lute, Koto, and Vocal) and Korea and Mexico. On his
own he also traveled in Italy, Portugal, England and France as well as
in America, particularly the Southwest. Living in New York he studied
Blues, Classical, Folk and Jazz guitar as well as Classical Voice. He
has also attended numerous songwriting workshops at the Songwriters Guild
and Songwriters Hall of Fame and studied privately with songwriters Jeff
Franzel and Alex Forbes. Over the years David has also established and directed music programs for emotionally handicapped children and adolescents, and performed at public and VA hospitals, community and senior centers, public schools, parks and libraries in the tri-state area. |
