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  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 started working in Hollywood between tours,  joined SAG-AFTRA and rediscovered his love for acting and theater. He is currently in the studio recording a new album to be released in 2026.

 

What's Your Name
"Hey Stitch! Why do you have so many names?" Well, my father insisted that I would be named David after his good friend that was heartbreakingly killed in the Yom Kippur war. My mother however, loved the name Tomer too much to give up. The two names were stitched together as Tomer David loosely meaning the tall (as a palm tree) David.
 
The original David’s bereaved father, loved so much that the kid was named after his son that David, with its variation was solely used in the daily life. 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 early 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 that name alone, especially while touring constantly without a home base. 

When started working as an actor, hired often by studios he had to use the official name and Tomer and sometime Tom, and TD or Teddy took charge and opened a whole new avenue - What is your choice?
