Born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, Davis was immersed in music from an early age, inspired by his father’s extensive record collection. His influences are deeply rooted in classic ‘60s and ‘70s rock and blues, particularly British blues legends like Cream, The Faces, The Jeff Beck Group, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles. However, his love for the blues led him to explore American Blues pioneers such as Albert King, Howlin’ Wolf, and Muddy Waters, further shaping his distinct sound.
“I started playing guitar when I was four years old,” Davis recalls. “The British blues movement really stuck with me—especially bands like Cream when they covered Albert King. That led me to go back and discover the originals, and that’s when I really fell in love with the blues.”
