I was born in little town outside of Hamburg Germany.At the age of 3 we moved to N.Y.City,while my father finished his military stint.At the age of 4 I moved to P.A.,where i was first introduced to music in high school.I was lucky enough to be surrounded by some pretty amazing musicians.To this day it still amaze's me how you can put musicians of all differnt color's, backgrounds ,ect...
together in a room and jam your ass's off and never once think about the bass player is black or the sax player is oriental,it never mattered.If the rest of the world could get on that page WOW! My influences are too many to count,but i still love the old Motown sound,along with some Earth,Wind and Fire,and Stevie Wonder.So as you listen to my music I hope you can hear a little blend of old and new,but most of all something fresh. Peace Ray
Shining a heartfelt spark of creativity rarely seen in the modern music biz, Davon opens up a well of passion and talent that results in gripping and emotionally charged songs that hook the listener from start to finish.
The Zone
Music is the source of its own special realm of existence. To get lost in music is to find one's self in a distinct and special world. “Music to me is like 'the zone' of a pro athlete,” says Davon. “When I'm sad, I write;sad when I'm happy, I write happy. I'm in a place where you get in touch with your inner soul and mind.” And by exploring his inner soul and mind and bringing it to the surface in his songs, Davon is able to touch the hearts and spirits of his listeners.
Grooves and More
Davon will be the first person to admit the vital importance of grooves, especially to such hook-laden genres as funk and rhythm-and-blues. But the music must move beyond the mere groove and the lush melody. Behind all that beauty there must be a focused intelligence – the music must speak to spirit and flesh alike. “I'm inspired,” says Davon, “by anything that moves my mind and my body, something that tells a story.” It's this human touch that truly distinguishes Davon's songwriting.
The Artist at Work
Davon has seen three of his songs find placement in movies for Disney and Touchstone Pictures. He was the producer, co-writer and arranger of R&B artist Erik Cole's 2002 debut album “Do You Feel.” Hitting the streets soon will be Davon's own debut CD, on which he play’s guitar, piano, drums and bass and sings vocals. Davon is currently working with the hottest, indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA, A&R Select.
