David Lomond is a native of Hawaii and grew up in the same hometown as Don Ho. A natural baritone with incredible range, he began performing traditional Hawaiian music, rock 'n roll and top 40 hits with friends and family at a young age. David studied voice and guitar privately at the University of Hawaii. He has performed for people from all over the world while entertaining in Hawaii and the continental United States.
As a youngster, David spent many weekends on Waikiki Beach, helping at his grandmother's lei stand where he developed his love for making people happy. With his outgoing personality, charisma, and Hawaiian hospitality he was an instant success when he became a tourguide, just like Elvis in Blue Hawaii. Soon he was known as the "Singing Tourguide" and began receiving fan mail as well as the attention of Ed Hogan, the president of Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays. Mr. Hogan hired him to play popular Hawaiian music and entertain his large tour groups of 500 to 1,000 people, daily, where David shaped, polished and mastered his entertainment skills.
David has performed with Paul Revere and the Raiders, Nokie Edwards of "The Ventures" (Hawaii 5-0), Joe Corsi of Spiral Staircase, Nashville recording artist Buster B, Warner Brothers jazz recording artist Paul Biondi, the Royal Hawaiian Band, along with many others. He's opened for The Kingsmen, and Hapa (contemporary Hawaiian artists), received "Best New Artist" award by the Oregon Gospel Music Association and as an Elvis entertainer, David has received multiple awards, from most charismatic to best in vocal ability and more.
He is an award-winning entertainer, musician and song writer who's music has been played in the Pacific Northwest by Clear Channel, Cummulus, community radio stations and public television.
With the release of his latest two CD's, "Elvis America" and "Hot Hawaiian Luau", David has broadened his fan base in the U.S. and internationally, drawing in new fans from around the world.
