David M. Matthews' career in Hollywood has been varied, to say the least.  He served as Musical Director for 3 years on the CBS soap, "The Young and the Restless," for which he won an Emmy for Outstanding Musical Direction & Composition.  During his tenure at "Y&R," he also executive produced a popular album containing performances by several of the show's stars, distributed by Nuance-MCA Records.  He then moved on to sitcom writing, where he penned scripts for "The Nanny" and "Living Single," as well as staff writing and producing gigs on "For Your Love" and "Half & Half."  Subsequently he successfully teamed with filmmaker, Michael Bayouth, on the screenplays for "A Howl In One" and "Kidnight," and helped produce the  soon-to-be released documentary, "A Musical Journey To Freedom."  He has continued to write music for TV and film, composing the underscore  and main title music for "Valhalla," "The Last Frontier," "Western Avenue" and "Wave Babes," to name just a few.

David, an Ohio native, now resides in a Los Angeles suburb with his wife, Carla.  He recently wrote and produced an episodic mockumentary, "When Actors Need Money," for Strike TV, and is in post-production on a reality show spoof, "How We Think They Did It."  His first book, "Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider's Guide to How Men Think," inspired by a lifetime of being the "relationship advice guru" for friends, relatives and co-workers, was published by Wheatmark on April 15, 2008.
