David Lowe is one of the most renowned music composers based in the UK. He has composed a number of successful songs such as "So Hot" and "Would You." In 1997, he released an album entitled "Dreamcatcher." Described by listeners as "Global music" with beautiful ethnic sounds and voices, mixed with cool western beats and textures. It has been said that if you have watched British television, chances are that you have heard David's music.

However, his famous project lies in BBC News. In 1999, as part of a major rebranding exercise, he was asked to simply change the sound of news music for all of the BBC's regional, national and international broadcasts for TV and Radio. Till today, he still continues to update his news themes for the world's richest public broadcaster. His inspiration is said to have come from rave tunes that has proved to be very popular with viewers both at home and abroad.
