Sharing the stage with great figures of Flamenco has been part of his daily life since childhood, and most possibly has played a part in the natural way in which he is able to blend skill and musicality with Flamenco temperament. His teacher was his older brother, El Viejín, and he has also been influenced by his other brother Juan Jiménez, as well as many of his uncles and cousins, all passionate guitarists. David Jiménez has worked with artists of renown such Antonio Canales, Joaquín Cortés, El Cigala, Montse Cortés, Guadiana, Ramón El Portugués, Miguel el Rubio Paquete, Ramón Jiménez, Jesús de Rosario… He has performed as a solo guitarist in the Spanish TV programme Flamenco para tus Ojos. Author of wonderful guitar compositions, he was awarded the Prize for the Best Solo Composition.
