With more than 1.5 million followers, Davis is becoming one of country music’s top budding artists to watch for 2022.

The Chattanooga-native grew up listening to Johnny Cash hymns on the way to church every Sunday morning with his family, and at home, he would watch in awe as his father, who once opened for Garth Brooks in ’88, strummed Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings on guitar while his mother joined in with the tambourine. Music has been in his blood for generations, and he carries the charismatic storytelling of his musical heroes into his own songwriting.

While reality carried Davis towards and engineering degree and a practical career as a Sprinkler Systems Designer, he always carried his passion for music and dream of an entertainment career with him. After a devastating and near-fatal car accident in 2019, he received a second chance at life and decided that there was no better time to pursue the career he had put on the back-burner.

It wasn’t long before his home-spun singing videos went viral with his original lyrics, impromptu performances and covers of country favorites like Chris Stapleton and Brad Paisley. Recently signed to Nashville-based label, artist development and publishing company Big Yellow Dog Music, Davis has released three singles called “The Kitchen,” “Minus You” and “One More Christmas Eve,” with a full project expected for 2022.
