To a talent extraordinaire!

With passion, wisdom and authenticity, composer, author, and singer David Friedman performed last night at 54 Below to an audience that only wanted more of what he had to offer. His cabaret show, "Songs that Wrote Me," was a look into David's evolution as a soulful man through the music that "created him."

He started the show with "Rich, Famous, and Powerful," a song that expressed his desire to have fame and fortune – thinking that by achieving those things, he would be fulfilled. Through the next hour, we learn it wasn't the case. "Happiness comes from inside," David shared, and "the way to have what you want is to let go." When he was able to do that, surprisingly, he became more prosperous. However, this time there was a foundation for his success, he had uncovered his spiritual self.

David sang some of my favorites like, "Listen to My Heart," "We Live on Borrowed Time," and "We Can Be Kind."

This talented man has had a diverse career as a conductor of Broadway shows, to writing songs for Disney movies, and this year, he contributed songs to "Scandalous", a musical that had a run on Broadway. He is also author of "The Thought Exchange," a profound book that teaches us to go within for the answers to the challenges we face in life.

David is the best and if he brings back his cabaret show, do make sure you see it!
