A classically trained musician, David Erick Ramos has been performing with the ocarina since 2000. He first discovered the instrument through Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 1998, and has since built a large online following, especially on Youtube, where he has amassed over 93 million views on his ocarina music videos and tutorials.
Originally from San Antonio, TX, David has also toured throughout the world for live performances and to promote the instrument through educational workshops. As a featured artist, David has performed with Nintendo’s “Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” concert tour and “Video Games Live”, the first and longest running video game concert series.
In addition to David’s original albums (2013’s Leave Luck to Heaven, 2017’s Ocarina Road, 2021’s PAST EP), he has appeared on several other projects, including tribute albums such as ZREO’s Twilight Symphony (2012), Time’s End: Majora’s Mask Remixed (2012, 2016), and Video Games Live: Level 5 (2016).
