Career
editDavid Callejón started his career as a musician playing the guitar, piano and trumpet in jam sessions in Barcelona. Moved by his passion for music, he travelled to San Francisco to play with Blues musicians. What was meant to be a few weeks trip became a two-year stay. In that time, he finished the recording of his first album alongside Andrew Pollack. He commenced his career with Jordi ENP, who after admiring his work, invited him to meet his producer.
David returned to his home continent to tour through countries in Central Europe. Following that, he started to play in venues in Barcelona. His performances became known for the freshness of his comments between one song and another.[1] David has recounted in various interviews that his humorist side was born of the necessity to gain the attention of the spectators in pubs.
After numerous monologues, his television debut took place on the paid channel Paramount Comedy. Berto Romero discovered him during one of his performances and gave him the opportunity to participate in Buenafuente during the summer of 2008. Since then, David's career has developed with appearances in programs such as El hormiguero, Ya te digo and La mañana on COPE.
