David Javelosa is an American composer and former Sega of America audio director, recording artist, and sound designer. He first began working with Sega as a contractual consultant in 1990, and would eventually be directly hired in 1992, where he would serve as Senior Music Designer for a number of the company's first-party titles (including those in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise) as well as forming the Creative Support team. His responsibilities covered all aspects of music and audio production, supervision, creative support, and technology, the managing and hiring of musical talent, and the support of Sega-licensed developers with audio creation tools. He also composed music for the Sega Channel, as well as the first revision of the North American Sega CD BIOS.
After departing Sega in 1994 and leaving his consultant position two years later, he remained active in the game industry as a freelance composer and audio director, Industry Specialist for Yamaha, and eventually became a Professor of Interactive Media at Santa Monica College in September 2001 - a position he remains in to this day. He also runs the independent music label Hyperspace Communications, which specializes in releasing electronic, new wave, and game music on vinyl records.
