David Imperioli: Michael Imperioli’s Son, Musician

If you know the name Michael Imperioli, you know Christopher Moltisanti from The Sopranos. His younger son has a much quieter story, and it has little to do with acting. Fans keep asking the same questions about him: how old is he, what does he do, and is he famous in his own right?

David Imperioli is the younger son of Sopranos star Michael Imperioli and his wife Victoria. Born on August 28, 2001, he is a Los Angeles-based musician who plays lead guitar for the band High Flight.

In this guide you will get the verified facts about his age, family, music career, and net worth, plus the rumors you should ignore. Every fact below comes from a published source. Where sources disagree, this guide says so instead of picking a guess.

His Early Life and Family Background

David was born on August 28, 2001, to actor Michael Imperioli and his wife Victoria. PEOPLE and other celebrity outlets agree on this date, though at least one bio site lists only the birth year. That split is worth knowing, because many thin bio pages copy each other without checking.

He grew up in a home full of art. His father acted on stage and screen. His mother worked in interior design and film production. The family split time between New York and California, with homes on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and in Santa Barbara. Music was part of daily life from an early age.

His father marked his 20th birthday in public. On Instagram, Michael posted a childhood photo of David holding a toy guitar and wrote: “Happy 20th birthday David! The future of rock remains in your hands. Love you doc.” That one post tells you more about David’s path than most bio pages do. He was a kid with a guitar, and he stayed a kid with a guitar.

Unlike many celebrity children, David did not grow up on red carpets. His parents kept their children out of the press when they could. That choice shapes everything about his public life today. There are few interviews, few photos, and almost no self-promotion from him.

His Parents: Michael and Victoria

Michael Imperioli is the famous parent, and his career explains why people search for his son at all. Born on March 26, 1966, in Mount Vernon, New York, Michael broke out as Spider in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas in 1990. He then played Christopher Moltisanti on HBO’s The Sopranos from 1999 to 2007, a role that won him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2004.

His career did not stop with The Sopranos. He played Dominic Di Grasso in season 2 of The White Lotus in 2022, wrote episodes of The Sopranos, wrote novels, and directed films. Music is also his own side path: he sings and plays guitar in his band Zopa, once known as La Dolce Vita. So when David picked up the guitar, he followed a real family habit, not just a hobby.

Victoria Chlebowski, David’s mother, is an interior designer, entrepreneur, and film producer. She co-owns the design firm SVE New York and co-produced her husband’s film The Hungry Ghosts. She keeps a much lower public profile than her husband and rarely appears in interviews.

Michael and Victoria married in the mid-1990s and have been together for about 30 years. Sources differ on the exact wedding year, with some saying 1995 and others 1996, so this guide gives the safe range. Their long marriage is one reason the family reads as stable and close in every profile.

His Siblings: Vadim and Isabella

David is the youngest of three children, and his siblings took different paths.

Vadim Imperioli is his older brother, born on December 6, 1997. Vadim is the actor of the family. As a child he appeared in the 2007 TV movie Mitch Albom’s For One More Day, and he later played Bobby Fitch in the TV series Detroit 1-8-7. He also did stand-up comedy in a Teen Comedy Club at Santa Barbara High School and later studied film at SUNY Purchase College. Vadim’s public record is far bigger than David’s, which is one reason readers mix the two brothers up.

Isabella Chlebowski is David’s older half-sister, Victoria’s daughter from a previous relationship. She lives outside the spotlight. One of her rare public moments came at the 2003 Golden Globes, where she walked the red carpet with Michael. Little else about her is public, and this guide leaves it that way. Her birth year is reported differently across sites, so no year is stated here.

The three siblings appear close in the few family photos that exist. Vadim has shared pictures of himself with David, and the brothers show up together at family events. But each one guards privacy in a different way: Vadim through comedy and acting, Isabella through silence, David through music.

His Music Career and High Flight

Music is David’s real story. He plays lead guitar for High Flight, a Los Angeles-based band. PEOPLE reported in its Sopranos cast-kids gallery that he had held that role since at least 2022. That makes him a working musician, not just a celebrity child with a guitar.

His brother’s profile adds one more detail: David has also been linked to a second band name, Madeye Moody, and has shared Spotify links on his Instagram bio. Treat that second link with care. It comes from a single sibling profile, not from a band page or interview, so this guide reports it as a reported link, not a confirmed current role.

What does High Flight sound like? Honest answer: no major outlet has profiled the band in depth, and no interview with David about his playing style exists in public sources. What is known is his role (lead guitar), his base (Los Angeles), and his start point (by 2022 at the latest). Fans who want to hear him should search streaming platforms for High Flight and check the band’s own pages, since David’s own social accounts are private.

The family link matters here. His father spent years playing rock clubs with Zopa while still acting full time. David grew up watching that double life: a day job in film and TV, and nights on stage with a guitar. His own choice looks like the same shape, minus the acting half. He picked the stage over the screen.

Is He an Actor?

No. There are no acting credits for David in any public film or TV database, and no profile credits him with a screen role. If you saw an Imperioli son on screen as a child, that was Vadim, not David.

This mix-up is easy to make. The brothers share a last name, a famous father, and a creative streak. But their paths split early: Vadim acted as a child and studied film, while David picked music. One more clue: Vadim’s acting work stopped around 2013, while David’s music work shows up from 2022 onward. Different years, different stages, different brothers.

So if a site lists acting roles under David’s name, it has copied Vadim’s credits into the wrong profile. Skip that site. The clean rule is simple: Vadim acts, David plays guitar.

His Net Worth: What Is Real?

Here is where most bio pages mislead you. At least one site runs a headline claiming David “enjoys” a $20 million net worth. Read its own text and the claim falls apart: it says David’s net worth is “under review” and then quotes his father’s figure, about $20 million, from Celebrity Net Worth.

The honest answer: no credible source publishes David’s own net worth. He is a working band guitarist with a private life, not a public earner with reported deals. Any site that gives you an exact number for him is guessing.

His father is a different story. Michael’s long career across Goodfellas, The Sopranos, The White Lotus, writing, directing, and podcasting supports the reported $20 million figure that outlets repeat. That money belongs to Michael, not to his son. When you see the $20 million number next to David’s name, you are looking at his father’s wealth with the wrong label on it.

His Personal Life and Social Media

David keeps his personal life private. His Instagram account is private, and he does not post public updates about relationships, homes, or daily life. Some bio pages claim he is in a relationship, but none name a partner with a source, so this guide does not repeat the claim.

No credible source says he is married, and no wedding or partner announcement exists. The safe statement is that his relationship status is not publicly confirmed. That is normal for a private person who is not chasing fame.

Public appearances are rare but real. PEOPLE photographed him with his father in West Hollywood, California, on March 12, 2023. Beyond family photos and band links, he stays out of the gossip cycle. That low profile is a choice, and it matches how his parents raised all three children: famous father, normal life where possible.

For fans, this means one practical rule: if a “new photo” or “new girlfriend” story about David has no named source, treat it as rumor. His own accounts are private, so real news about him would come through family posts or band pages first.

What Is He Doing Now?

As of late 2026, David is a Los Angeles-based musician best known as High Flight’s lead guitarist, a role he has held since at least 2022. No new band announcement, solo project, or acting debut has been reported for him in public sources.

That quiet record is itself the update. While his father tours with Zopa and takes new screen roles, David works the LA music scene without a press machine behind him. If High Flight releases new music or books bigger shows, the band’s own pages will show it before any bio site does.

For readers who found this page through a Sopranos rewatch, that is the full picture: the youngest Imperioli child chose the guitar over the camera, and he is still playing.

Common Mistakes About Him

• Wrong net worth: the $20 million figure belongs to his father, not to David. His own net worth is not publicly reported.
• Wrong brother: child acting credits for “an Imperioli son” belong to Vadim, not David.
• Wrong birth years: at least one low-quality site lists wrong birth years for all three Imperioli children. The reliable dates are Vadim on December 6, 1997, and David on August 28, 2001.
• Wrong job: David is not an actor, a model, or a social media star. He is a band guitarist with private accounts.
• Wrong family count: Michael and Victoria have three children in total, Vadim, David, and Isabella. Some profiles count only two, because they leave out Isabella, who is Victoria’s daughter from a previous relationship.
• Guessed personal details: claims about his wife, girlfriend, school, or home address have no named source. Leave them out of any profile you trust.

Conclusion

David Imperioli is best summed up in one line: the youngest child of a famous actor who chose music over movies. Born on August 28, 2001, raised between New York and California, he now plays lead guitar for the Los Angeles band High Flight and keeps his private life private.

If you came here from a Sopranos binge, you now know what most bio pages get wrong: his net worth is not $20 million, he is not an actor, and his brother Vadim owns the child acting credits. The verified story is smaller and better: a guitarist from a creative family, building his own name one show at a time.
