Steve Reich said of David Braid’s work: “Morning – Integration of voice with string quartet beautifully done – particularly first entrance. Writing for instruments is solid and sounds very good to me. Very honest stuff”.

David was born and grew up in North Wales (Colwyn Bay) before attending The Royal College of Music in London, taking joint-first study in Composition and Guitar (with Edwin Roxburgh and Charles Ramirez respectively); also attending George Benjamin’s composition classes. David undertook graduate study in Composition at The University of Oxford and The Cracow Academy of Music.

David is the recipient of a number of awards including The John Longmire Prize for Composition and the Jack Morrison Prize for Guitar, both at the Royal College of Music.

Recording of David’s second CD is now at mastering stage for release in 2017. Recently completed works include his 3^rd Symphony.
