Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to David Miratty. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, David thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you take us back in time to the first dollar you earned as a creative – how did it happen? What’s the story?
I’ll share the story of my first earnings in Los Angeles as a creative.
Before moving here from Russia I would search and reach out to restaurants/party and wedding companies/agencies to be hired as a piano performer and what ended up happening was that a few places wanted to book me for the weekend not knowing that I’m not in LA yet(I didn’t mention I wasn’t there yet) so I let them know that I wasn’t moving in a month or so and let’s be in touch, when I finally moved those places got shut down to my dismay, but where one door closes others get open. So I got hired as a pianist in a piano bar in Glendale ( I performed 5 days a week from 7 to 11 p.m for 250$ a night. The first month of me being in Los Angeles I made up to 5k just doing what I love and that was triple of what I made in Russia doing the same thing.
David, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m a pianist/composer/soundproducer from 2Impro duo. As a duo we (David Miratty and Skif Bazzaty) specialise in edm/pop/latino music. 2024 was quite a fruitful year for us because we were releasing music constantly (7 singles) and gained over 5 million streams overall.
Before 2impro I was a solo piano composer realising piano albums and Skif did electronic music. We are really proud that we’ve always followed our passion and view.
Sometimes we write songs for other artists as ghost producers.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The end goal is to serve the world through our music because I feel like that’s the culmination of a human being to serve others and music is definitely the purpose to fulfill that.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Probably knowing that my music made a difference in one’s life, I had people telling me that they would listen to my songs before going to bed to relax. That meant a lot to me.
