Artist, string arranger, composer, performer. David Grubb has become a sought-after musician, renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend musical styles. Primarily a violinist, he has shared the stage and studio with notable acts including Novo Amor, Jim Ghedi, Hailaker, Toby Hay, and collaborated with producers Ali Chant, Neil Davidge, and Ed Tullett. His work has taken him to North America, Europe, Asia, and New Zealand, performing in iconic venues such as The Barbican Centre (London) and Bowery Ballroom (NYC).

Perched on the Firth of Forth overlooking Edinburgh and East Lothian, David grew up in the small village of East Wemyss on the east coast of Scotland. It was here where he first picked up his grandad’s old fiddle and discovered his passion for music. Influenced by the Scottish traditional scene, his classical training, and his parent’s eclectic musical palette, he found inspiration in musical experimentation and sonic innovation. Now, firmly rooted in Cardiff, Wales where he has proudly called home for 15 years, David has become an integral part of the vibrant UK music scene, leaving an indelible mark on a multitude of projects.

An instrumental story teller, David’s musical prowess goes beyond traditional boundaries, crafting compositions that weave together seemingly disparate musical elements into conceptual journeys. His original offerings challenge the conventional perceptions of genre, inviting audiences into immersive sonic landscapes where each note tells a story. David’s upcoming release Circadia explores the human subconscious, leading listeners through a typical sleep cycle and encountering weird and wonderful phenomena along the way.

True to his genre hopping credentials, David's musical endeavours extend to diverse projects, including his membership in the Welsh trash-trad ensemble, NoGood Boyo, and his role as a founding member of the burgeoning bluegrass sensation, Taff Rapids Stringband.
