David Ditchfield is an NDE-inspired artist, composer, near-death experiencer and author

A few years ago, David was dragged under a speeding train in a freak accident. As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound Near-Death Experience, visiting the place we go to when we die. When he woke up in hospital, he found he had acquired astonishing new abilities.

The first, an ability to create dramatic paintings of what he’d seen in the Afterlife.

The second, the ability to compose classical music, despite being unable to read or write any musical notation to this day.

His debut symphony premiered at a sell-out orchestral concert to a standing ovation. He has since composed further classical works, also premiered at sell-out performances and continues to paint and compose.
