I have been creating original songs and music since 2013.  Since then I have completed over 750 projects and even picked up a Pixie Award for Digital Design for some of my special multi layered music videos.  You’ll find reviews at the bottom of this page and links to samples.  I have created everything from voiceovers and jingles, to theme songs, audio greeting cards for special events, background orchestrations, sound effects and some very special multi layered videos.  Have a look!  Place an order.  Songs start at €25.

Ordering  song is really simple.  I charge €25  by the layer and the minute. You an order by email and pay via PayPal.  Once we get started I will guide you the entire way through to project completion.

The €25 Song
Based on information you give me, I can write lyrics and compose a simple melody, up to one minute in duration. and played on a ukulele.  If you need a 2 minute song, the base price is €50.  All songs include a license that allows you to use the song any way you see fit.  While I retain all the right to the music I create, I allow you to run with it and use it as often and in as many places as posible

Add Layers

If you want to add a bass line, vocal harmonies, keyboards, horns, then simply add €25 per minute per instrument or layer.

For example, a one minute song with Ukulele, vocals, bass, 1 additional harmony voice and a keyboard line, the total cost would be €100.

Book a Video 

Videos start at €100.  For this I will do a simple desktop video where I sing and play your song with full professional audio and hi res 1080p video.  Single shot green screen videos start at €200.  You can then add background, additional characters and special effects at a cost of €50 per layer.

Live Shows and Concerts

The Ukulele Bandito Show is a one hour adventure tour through the inner workings of the brain of creative wunderkind David Cassel. A non stop powerhouse of music, comedy, magic and personality, The Ukulele Bandito steals the hearts of everyone he meets, and then sells them from his merchandise table after the show.

Featuring a vast array of original songs, groovy beats, loop station orchestrations, famous pop songs, a Tom Waits Mini Tribute Show (the show within the show) and his latest musical invention “The Back Trumpet”, David Cassel takes his audience on a very unique and highly memorable audio/visual odyssey. Love songs, songs about the news and current affairs, improvised songs and comic spontaneity are just some of the tools in The Ukulele Bandito’s tool kit.

Having worked as an industrial comedy jingle writer, music video producer, and an award winning comedian, David has been working with audiences of all description since an early age. His clients keep coming back to order more songs and only ever have glowing things to say about him. So much so that he didn’t want to print the following reviews, but did so anyway on the urging of his publicist who said “If I can’t tell people what other people have said about you, I don’t have a job”.

And so for your consideration, a long list of remarks from the press and clients, has been placed at the bottom of this page  to impress the hell out of you.

This song is a tribute to all of those tireless, brave and inspired people who work as non union B.G. (Background Extras) on every film and television show that has ever been created.

I shot this in my garage and edited it only when I was on sets waiting to be called into action. Some times I had a lot of time on my hands, other times didn’t. Sometimes it’s great to be on set and sometimes it’s not.

I had this great chance to “work with” Robin Williams on his last movie “Night at the Museum 3”. He had always been a hero to me and I finally got to meet the man, quite by accident, by the tea truck. We spoke briefly and he listened to me play a short comic song on my ukulele that made him laugh. There was something about Robin Williams laughing at my joke that was incredibly satisfying. I was immeasurably sad when he left us. It is a moment I will always remember and a dram fulfilled.

I will also remember that night, on an unnamed production, when I had to pretend that it was a warm spring evening and wear very little clothing when, in fact, it was just above freezing. The night was particularly memorable because there was also a light drizzle that was stabbing my face like a thousand miniature ice spears.

The ground of the background holding had been immersed in water and mud from a storm earlier that day. In some places, in the main access ways, there were small lakes separated only by large pieces of plywood that one would have to jump over so as not to land in a sea of mucky uncertainty. It was impossible not to get mud on your clothes and shoes. The tent was being heated by only the smallest of gas heaters that could accommodate only 6 or seven of the 75 people who were working that night, which ended sometime around 3 am.

Crafty (Craft Services) contained mostly donuts and cake which is like kryptonite to a background worker. Sure, you can eat celery and carrots too, but some sets, like “Girlfriends Guide to Divorce” put out fancy cheeses and fine crackers as well as an assortment of cold cuts and special desserts to make the Non Union extras feel really special. I think I gained a few pounds working on that show.

No matter what, the conversations and personalities that populate Background Land always manage to provide enough stimulation, conversation and support to get us all through the long night shoots, the sun drenched day shoots and the short 4 hour shoots out in Langley.

Extras, I salute you!

 


Humble Beginnings

My first album “The Ukulele Bandito” is a collection of 16 songs that was dedicated to my daughter Grace Juno Cassel on the occassion of her 1st birthday. On the album you will find tracks full of hope, inspiration and laughter, some of despair and tragedy, others containing social commentary and a few lullabies that are sure to send anyone that listens to them into a dreamland slumber full of wonder.

“I am hard to please…I’ll be the first to say that I ask for perfection. Awesome job on my request. I hope we’ll do more jingles in the future.  Uke is a real people pleaser. There may be no end to his talents.  Do not hesitate to ask, because he will deliver more than you expected.”
