From the moment he was born, David had an International appeal.

He was one of the most influential writers of the German Democratic Republic.His father Andrej Hermlin is a successful jazz musician who owns a famous orchestra known as the Swing Dance Orchestra.At the age of three years, David began developing interest in playing the drums, So he began teaching himself how to play the drums going around drumming everywhere and on anything typically as a three year old would do. This however did not skip the attention of his father who being a musician and bandleader, realized there was something extra ordinary about him.

At the age of four years, David made his first appearance on stage with his father and performed remarkably . By the age of five, he was taking tap dancing lessons with Tassilo Ebersbach. David kept growing day by day in his talent being natured by his father and performing to multitudes of people both in Germany and other countries including Italy, Switzerland and the USA.

As the years passed by, David began developing interest in dance and was especially drawn to the Michael Jackson style of Dancing and at the age of nine years, he caught the eye of the makers of Friedrichstadtpalast – Berlin. This is the most famous European show palace, and before long, due to his exceptional performance, he found himself the soloist of all the performances which included singing, dancing and acting. He still does this to date.

At the age of ten and running wild with mad talent David got hold of the piano and before long with the help of his teacher, he could noticeably play many compositions on it exceptionally well.

Having a Kenyan mother (Joyce Hermlin), David has been spending most of his time in Kenya. Owing to the fact that they own a home in the Thumaita village of Kirinyaga District that is on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. He in time grew interest in singing something about his maternal homeland. So his parents reached out to the award wining producer and song writer in Kenya known as Dr. Eddie.

Perfect Paradise is the first song that they have worked on with Dr. Eddie and it talks about the way he would love to see the country be like contrary to what he sees and that’s people living in poverty and only a few of them living in paradise which makes it and imperfect paradise. The song is doing very well in the East African region.

To date, David travels a lot performing with his father and loves Kenya a lot from what he says.
