David Corter studied jazz guitar at Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1992, David moved to New York City to study guitar with renowned guitarist John Abercrombie. After hearing the Didgeridoo at an indigenous music concert, David became fascinated with the instrument's rich sounds and rhythms and added the didgeridoo to his musical vocabulary. Shortly thereafter, David was asked to perform on Jay Leno playing didgeridoo with off-broadway performance art group, Blue Man Group and subsequently began playing zither in the blue man band.

In 1993, David traveled to Australia as a student of didgeridoos, living in the outback for six weeks with Wardaman tribal elder Billy Harney, where he learned about aboriginal culture, the didgeridoo and its tradition. In 1995, David released his first solo didgeridoo album, Didgeridoo Mania on the ARC music label based in the UK, blending the didgeridoo with western instruments to create a unique atmospheric and sonic palate. David played regularly in the New York scene with various groups and styles ranging from rock to avante garde jazz.

In the summer of 1995, Byron Estep and David first collaborated for a performance art piece and realized the great potential and chemistry of the didgeridoo and bluegrass music. Byron and David began writing material and playing venues regularly in New York, which resulted in the creation of Aboriginal Bluegrass. In 1997 David was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic to build a didgeridoo-like percussion instrument for Krzysztof Penderecki's piece, Seven Gates of Jerusalem (Symphony No. 7).

To the present day, David continues to collaborate with many musicians in the New York area, playing both guitar and didgeridoo, writes music for soundtracks and is a music director for Blue Man Group. In September of 2003, David released a second solo didgeridoo album with ARC record label entitled Didgeridoo Mania II: Goin' Walkabout.
