PROFILE LOADING
My name is David Mejía and I am a Mexican Tenor originally from the Rio Grande Valley from Brownsville, Texas. I now reside in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex where I work frequently alongside the Dallas and Fort Worth Opera, and sing as recitalist, chorister, and tenor soloist. I am an empassioned educator, performer, and human being who thrives to make art that inspires. I hope to actively be an upstanding member for my Latinx/queer community.
