I am David Naville, a Swiss physicist by training (MSc with 15 years of experience in market finance spanning currencies, interest rates, commodities and equities. I previously held a Managing Director position at Barclays Corporate & Investment Bank, where I led FX and Commodity Structuring across Asia-Pacific and beyond. Today I produce electronic music and develop artists through my record label THISBE Recordings in Berlin, with my own music production under the alias Pyrame. I enjoy blending analytical rigor with creativity to deliver ambitious projects and collaborations. My label´s catalogue now has more than 150 tracks, including mine, and I am very focused on producing cutting-edge electronic music tracks, which have already been synched with ads and TV shows. Since my youngest age, I have been reading, reciting and writting poetry - first in French - as well as with the lyrics - in English - of my tracks. I am interested in using my voice, timbre and diction for voice-related jobs.
