Though David Habbin now calls London home, this critically renowned tenor, actor and model 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 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.
He then continued his operatic training at the Royal Northern College of music. 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.

I KNOW GOD HAS PUT DREAMS AND DESIRES IN YOUR HEART -THINGS YOU ARE HOPING FOR,PRAYING ABOUT, AND BELIEVING IN. THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE'LL PRAY IN FAITH ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, THEN GOD WILL HEAR US AND ANSWER THOSE PRAYERS. WHEN YOU HAVE A DREAM FROM GOD IN YOUR HEART YOU DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE AND TRY TO FORCE IT TO HAPPEN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WORRIED OR FRUSTRATED, WONDERING IF IT'S EVER GOING TO COME TO PASS. WHEN YOU HAVE THE PROMISES OF GOD DEEP IN YOUR HEART, THE BIBLE SAYS YOU WILL "ENTER INTO THE REST OF GOD." THAT'S A PLACE OF TOTAL TRUST. A PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THAT GOD IS GOING TO SEE YOU THROUGH IT'S A PLACE OF FAITH, KNOWING THAT GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL, AND AT THE EXACT RIGHT TIME, HE WILL BRING YOUR DREAM TO PASS1
“I should get a normal life, but I don't really want one, so will stay who I am” (A quote by some daft fool setting up Paul Weston Arts! See links below.)

Peace love and happiness.

“Dance”
“The expression of love, grace an elegance A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance Riding the crest of an ocean wave Gliding through the air on a breezy day My body on Earth my soul reaches away To Heaven. The religion of rhythm A moth to a candle A key to a slave of Pleasure and pain I take my first emancipated steps Freedom This is my chance. That’s where I go When I Dance.”
