David Tibbets

A professional musician, guitarist, and composer based in Costa Mesa, CA, working across live performance, original music creation, and collaborative projects with established artists.

As a live performer, I specialize in acoustic rock, country, and blues—performing both covers and original music with an emphasis on the unique expressiveness of the acoustic guitar. My live work is well-suited for civic and community events, outdoor concerts, corporate gatherings, and family-friendly programming, and I’m available both as a solo artist and with a full band.

In parallel, I compose and produce original music for creative projects, with a focus on emotionally grounded, guitar-forward compositions suitable for sync licensing, film, television, and digital media. My background as a live performer strongly informs my studio work, resulting in music that feels organic, dynamic, and performance-ready.

I’m also available as a guitarist for established and emerging artists, contributing rhythm and lead guitar in live and studio settings. I value collaboration, preparation, and musical adaptability, and I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of musical directions and professional production environments.
