David Baker

Writer, Producer & Director

TV Presenter/Reporter

David’s journey in the entertainment industry began in 1999, when he was just shy of 20 years old. It was during this time that he got his first taste of working in the field, starting out as a freelance TV presenter and reporter for the community digital channel, Local Life TV (LLTV).

Acting

Aside from his work as a presenter and reporter, David has also dabbled in acting, with a few notable TV experiences to his name. One of these includes two segments on the popular talent show, Britain’s Got Talent. Although these segments did not make it to the finale cut, they provided David with valuable experience.
