Yes, the passage contains a tense inconsistency error.
Explanation: The tense inconsistency occurs in the phrase "David works on his own solo projects for a few years and then began to publish his own books." The verb "works" is in the present tense, indicating an ongoing action, while the verb "began" is in the past tense, indicating a completed action. To make the sentence consistent in tense, it should be corrected to, "David worked on his own solo projects for a few years and then began to publish his own books."
