 == Biography ==
-He was born in Parkwood, Cape Town, into a family of musicians, and started playing piano at the age of four. His passion for music started at the age of seven when he sang for the St Georges’ Cathedral choir. His stage debut a little later was in the operetta ''Old King Cole'' in which he appeared alongside his older brother, [[Roger Isaacs]]. Still shy of the stage and being more on the quiet side, David’s two career choices was to be, either, a doctor or a classical pianist. The turning point, however, came after performing in High School production of ''[[The Caucasian Chalk Circle]]'' by [[Bertolt Brecht]]. David was bitten by the bug and encouraged by his Drama teacher/mentor. He then enrolled at [[[University of Cape Town Drama Department|UCT Drama Dept]] to take his discovered passion further.
