Bio

Raised in a small town Southeast of Tel Aviv, Tomer David Rapaport discovered a strong love for music at an early age. His first two piece band at age 7 was  called "Muchta Psychedelit" (The Psychedlic Spit). At that time he was also acting in school plays and showing a remarkable math talent that school had him skip second grade. That, in turn, connected him with his future bandmates that shared the strong passion for being one of the best bands in the world. After graduation, their high-school band "The Smoking Jiggles" was gaining momentum in the Tel Aviv scene, using street marketing and sold out shows they got noticed and were picked up by a major label and there was no turning back. Later to be based out of NYC, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, and now Los Angeles, Tomer David traveled the world playing music non-stop for 20 years at over a thousand venues all over the world, from dive bars and basement shows to Lollapalooza and the Hollywood Bowl. With his bands he wrote and released 6 albums and 12 EP's to date and was featured on numerous albums and live shows. Following an appearance on Cameron Crow's Roadies, Tomer David joined SAG-AFTRA and appeared on Ryan Murphy's "Hollywood" as well as in a car commercial directed by The Russo Brothers. His debut written and produced script is the short film "Piller". Working out of his studio in Venice, his days spent between playing, recording, studying, producing and writing. 

The Names
Tomer David's father insisted that he would be named David, after a good friend that was heartbreakingly killed in the Yom Kippur war. His mother however, loved the name Tomer too much to give it up. The two names were given together Tomer David meaning the tall (as a palm tree) David. 
The original David’s bereaved father, loved Tomer David so much that the name Tomer, officially written first, was ignored and David with its various versions was his name in actuality. As a Hebrew biblical name, you’d pronounce it D’veed. But in modern Israel it is altered to Duh-veed, Deddy, Didi, Dude, Dubeh, Dudu, and Dudi, which was how he presented himself throughout his life. Once in New York, it was just David. But then things got complicated again when "Stitch" caught on by many friends and music people that only knew him by that name alone, especially while touring constantly without a home base. sTITch has the Hebrew letters David in it visually, and it stitched the names together to one. Stitch between people. Connecting worlds. He felt that his name was his calling. Use music and songs to bring people together. 
When he started working as an actor, hired often by studios he had to use the official name and Tom/Tomer took charge and closed the circle back to square one... Tomer or David - it is truly your choice. If still in doubt call him Mr. Rapaport.
