He has been involved in many projects of John Zorn and has performed with him in many places in Europe and USA. He has also worked in close collaboration with Marc Ribot, Jim Pugliese, Anthony Coleman, etc. From 1986 to 1990, he worked as a club dj playing hip hop, house and jazz at many clubs in New York, including Kilimanjaro, The Village Gate and The Pyramid Club. David Shea works now as a composer for strings quartet and sampler solo, and it is close to nothing known in music today.
