About me

A Little bit about myself

I’m David Eaton

Artist, musician, and multi-medium creator working across sound, print and story.

My work lives at the intersection of music, illustration, photography, and written reflection. I score films, design and produce prints by hand. All while exploring ideas about ritual, recovery, and rhythm through writing and sound.

I create to understand what I’ve lived through, and to stay curious about what lies ahead. Much of what I share is part of processing things with honesty, while also trying to uncover the beauty and silver linings that reveal themselves along the way.

Creative Roots & professional practice

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Virginia Commonwealth University (2017), where I focused on opera and minored in business. After graduating, I earned a post-baccalaureate certificate through VCU and In Your Ear Studios in the Advanced Media Production Technology (AMPT) program. Where I sharpened my skills in sound design, audio engineering, and digital film production.

My roots in music stretch back to early performances and ensemble work, I was the most decorated musician in my high school, and I’ve since performed at venues like the Kennedy Center, 9:30 Club, The National, and other spaces in between. I’ve also written, recorded, and released an original album.

In addition to music, I have a strong foundation in visual arts and printmaking. I produce handmade screen prints, commissions, and show posters that draw on themes of myth, memory, and transformation.

Today, I work across the mediums of composing, designing, writing, and building a creative practice rooted in exploration, ritual, and honest reflection.
