David Paich

David (* 1954 in Los Angeles, CA), the son of Marty Paich, is a keyboardist, songwriter, singer, and record producer, best known as the co-founder of the rock band Toto. David remained with Toto from the beginning of the band in 1982 until 2004, then performed on only a few shows until their disbandment in 2008. In 2010, Paich resumed performing with Toto, and until mid-2018 was one of the band's keyboard players, alongside fellow original member Steve Porcaro.

As songwriter he wrote or co-wrote songs for Cher, The Jacksons, Andy Williams, George Benson, Glen Campbell, Boz Scaggs, Jon Anderson (Yes), Cherie & Marie Currie, and Chicago. As arranger he worked for Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Patti Austin, Donna Summer, the Doobie Brothers and many more. In 1981, David produced the No. 1 R&B hit "Break It to Me Gently" by Aretha Franklin. In October 2009, David was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame along with the other members of Toto.

David was the Co-Music Director for President Bill Clinton's Foundation Concert in 2011. That year David also performed on the all-star benefit album entitled Jazz For Japan. For his extraordinary contributions to the world of music, David was honored with the 2013 South-South Award for Lifetime Cultural Achievement.

As a session musician, David has played on numerous soundtracks and on albums by many artists, including Elkie Brooks, Bryan Adams, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Boz Scaggs, Quincy Jones, Melanie Safka, Don Henley, Diana Ross, the Doobie Brothers, Neil Diamond, Seals and Crofts, Steely Dan, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, Cher, Randy Newman, the Brothers Johnson and Pink.
