He writes, produces, and engineers (rather cheaply) novelty music and sketch comedy from his home with a computer. David Tanny had some songs and stuff played on terrestrial radio stations in 2006 such as "Friggin' Here" (now defunct) and others. The Christmas song "I'm Doing Nothing For Christmas" was featured in December 2005 on a radio station called Oldies 1520 in the Delta Valley.
