      Davis is a 19
year old singer/songwriter, and a full time working musician. He performs
regularly as a solo artist, playing more than 300 live shows over the past two
years, mainly in central Florida venues. But some performance opportunities
take Davis away from his home base, such as the November 2013 Music Cruise with
headliners Kenny Loggins & Three Dog Night, on which Davis performed in 15
live shows spread over seven days. Davis is booked for a similar cruise gig in
October 2014, this time with "America" as the headliner. Davis will
also hit the road in July 2014 to play several dates in Park City, Utah. In the
meantime, Davis continues to play about 20 Orlando-area gigs monthly. When
Davis performs live, he plays in a traditional singer/songwriter style, with
just Davis and his guitar no backing tracks and no loops. What the audience
experiences is genuine, transparent, and in the moment.

       Although Davis remains quite busy as a solo
artist, songwriting is his foundation and his main focus. And the songs are
100% Davis - not the co-write collaborations that are common among aspiring
songwriters. Depending on the venue, Davis plays up to 25 originals in his live
shows. Davis has also released several fully produced original tracks, some of
which have gained radio play and TV broadcast. On his first few studio
recordings, Davis worked closely with veteran producers in Orlando and
Nashville. In each of these projects, Davis was fully engaged in the process,
from the first scratch track through the final mix. Building on these
experiences, Davis began producing his own songs. In 2013, Davis released his
first self-produced single, "Nicer Here". He has more original
projects on the way, with his single "So Much To Give" coming out
soon.

       Davis' musical background includes a lot of
variety. This eventually led Davis to his own sound - a laid back mixture of
acoustic, island and alternative styles. While still in his mid-teens, Davis' songwriting
began to earn recognition from such organizations as the Durango Songwriter's
Expo, Nashville's Tennessee Concert Song Contest, the International Songwriting
Competition, the Dallas Songwriters Association, and Unsigned Only. In 2011,
Davis achieved a significant step as a 16 year old singer/songwriter when he
was selected by the prestigious Florida Music Festival to perform a 30 minute
set of his original music. Since then, Davis has performed an Artist Showcase
slot in the 2012 and 2013 Florida Music Festivals.

      Before turning 18, Davis began playing paid
gigs at several Orlando-area venues. These bookings quickly grew to full time
by the time of Davis' high school graduation. Now, with hundreds of
performances already behind him, and with dozens of solid original songs to
offer, Davis' future looks promising.
