The first gift was an enhanced ability to paint. After his NDE, David felt compelled to produce dramatic and rich images of the things he saw in the Afterlife, paintings so vivid and real it was as though he had taken a HD camera with him to visually capture what most NDE’rs can only describe using words. 

Then, even more surprisingly, He started writing classical music, composing full-scale symphonies and rhapsodies. This new-found gift was all the more astonishing as David (a former punk/pop guitarist) has never received any training in classical music and never composed such music before his NDE. In fact, to this day, he cannot read or write a single note of musical notation. David’s debut symphony ‘The Divine Light’ expresses what he felt during his NDE. The symphony was premiered at a sell-out concert and received a standing ovation from the audience.  Since then, he has been commissioned to compose further classical works which have also been premiered at sell-out performances and has completed more than thirty paintings and a number of commissioned artworks.

David’s NDE memoir, SHINE ON, will be released in Spring 2020 and Dr Raymond Moody Jr, best-selling author of Life After Life, describes SHINE ON as: “One of the most gripping accounts of a near-death experience that I have read.  And I say that having interviewed, since 1965, thousands of people who described such experiences.”
