About Me |
|
| Though David Habbin now calls London home, this critically renowned tenor hails from Ringwood, England. David’s musical career began with him performing and writing in rock and pop bands. That came to an end when he went to study musical theatre and acting at the Mountview Theatre School in London, while simultaneously studying vocal training with International operatic tenor Jon Andrew.
David received critical acclaim when he performed over 600 times in the role of Tony in West Side Story, directed by legendary librettist, playwright and co-creator of West Side Story Arthur Laurents, in the West End UK revival and on the tour.

He has performed as Marius and Combeferre in Les Miserables at the Palace Theatre, acted in a British feature film and performed with various opera companies in the United Kingdom in roles such as Alfredo in La Traviata, Ernesto in Don Pasquale, Almaviva in The Barber of Seville, Alfred in Die Fledermaus and Fenton in Falstaff and Lt. Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly. In 2002, David became a founding member in the internationally acclaimed classical pop crossover group Amici Forever. This multi platinum, multimillion selling group, enchanted people from around the world with their inspiring and unique sound, and scored phenomenal success with their debut CD The Opera Band and their follow up CD Defined, along with impressively received tours in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. David is always honoured to perform at charity events such as these high profile charity events with Amici including 'The Prince’s Trust' for HRH The Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle, 'The Make a Wish Foundation' at Blenheim Palace, and appeared on 'The Jerry Lewis Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy' in Los Angeles. They were invited by the Queen to sing at the Royal Albert Hall for 'The Festival of Remembrance,' performed in front of 500 million viewers at the Champions' League final at Old Trafford, supported Dame Shirley Bassey on her 50th anniversary stadium tour, performed on the live broadcast of the Miss World 2006 finals which was broadcast to over 2.5 billion people worldwide and sang for Prince Harry at Berkshire's Prince's Polo. To celebrate the return of The Olympic Games to Greece after 100 years, BBC TV commissioned a new piece that was used throughout the entire BBC Sport coverage of The Olympics called ‘Olympia: Eternal Flame' recorded by Amici and performed before 70,000 in June of 2004 in The Mall to close the Athens Olympic Torch Ceremony. Amici was also honoured to be the act chosen to perform at the World Premiere Party of the film, Phantom of the Opera for 1800 VIP and celebrity guests including Andrew Lloyd Webber and the cast of the film and headlined the 'Luciano Pavarotti Tribute' British Red Cross Royal Gala Ball. David recorded a PBS Television Special with Amici at The Harvey Theatre in New York City that was later released on DVD called ‘Amici Forever - in Concert.’ CONTACT AND BOOKING ENQUIRIES FOR DAVID HABBIN BOOKING ENQUIRY send to booking@davidhabbin.com or click on this link: Booking and contact enquiry for David Habbin Support David's music and videos by adding a banner to your MySpace page!
