David Foster was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1979, and showed a natural love for music at a very young age. He began formal music training in piano and guitar at the age of 8, and by the time he had finished his studies in economics at the University of Stellenbosch, he had built up an impressive following as a singer/songwriter.

David has been performing professionally for 6 years, during which he was an officially selected artist for the South African Music Week 3 years running, the National Arts Festival as well as the Oppikoppi and Splashy Fen music festivals. As a songwriter he was the winner of the Estern Cape Chamber Choirs Songwriter’s Award.

In 2003, David released his debut album, entitled “Flat to Round,” which received much acclaim, and as an unexpected result he was given the opportunity to host a TV travel show called “Going Nowhere Slowly.” This show is being broadcast on SABC3 in South Africa and on ITV in Great Britian.

David recorded his second album (“LIVE! And at home”) in March 2005, shortly before coming to Taiwan later that year. Since arriving in Taipei, David has performed for the South African Liaison Office during Freedom Day celebration at the Grand Formosa Regent Hotel, as well as for the Taiwan (R.O.C.) Government at the Annual Fireworks Festival. He will depart from Taiwan in August 2007 to pursue performing and recording opportunities in North America.
