Who is David Yarritu?

David Yarritu is an American musician and photographer. He was best known for his short stint as a member of New Wave group ABC in the 1980s. He was featured in several videos from the band's How to Be a...Zillionaire! album, including "Be Near Me".

Yarritu's only credited role in the production of How to Be a...Zillionaire! was providing spoken passages on some tracks. He and Eden were hired for ABC's "Zillionaire!" era mainly for their unconventional look onstage and in videos. In Yarritu's case, it was his short stature, shaven head, oversized eyeglasses, and diminutive build. He was the lone American in the group.

Today Yarritu works as a freelance photographer, and is based in New York City.

Yarritu is openly gay.
