“David’s ability to bring a story to life has been an essential ingredient of the success of the NAMM TEC Awards. These stories are about the dedicated and talented industry professionals behind some of the greatest breakthroughs in music technology; which when put in an artist hands, have become the soundtrack of our lives.”

Joe Lamond, President & CEO, NAMM

Storytelling


David Leaf can write for any medium, for any voice. His style is best described as conversational, and his scripts shoot directly to the heart of the matter.

Remarkably, he can craft a compelling message in a book or in a couple of sentences. His writing is clear, filled with context and clever wordplay. It works for the ear, and it works for the eye.

Leaf leavens his work with a light touch, whatever the moment calls for, be it serious or comedic.

In the non-fiction realm, he can write an original introduction for a superstar. Perhaps even more remarkable is Leaf’s ability to write for an iconic name and make it sound as if they were speaking their own truth.

His expertise beautifully serves every project. His words are spoken by a broad spectrum of celebrated artists: from the music world (e.g. Quincy Jones, George Martin, Barbra Streisand and dozens more), actors and event hosts (Dennis Hopper, Ted Danson, Chazz Palminteri, Phil Collins) and celebrated figures ranging from Public Enemy’s Brian Hardgroove to Cameron Crowe.

In his narrative screenplays, whether it’s an original story, a biopic, a slice of history or a “work for hire,” Leaf knows how to set the scene for a film you’ll want to see…and remember.
