Director and ProducerCoty Galloway
Davis is one of the most talented filmmakers I've had the pleasure of working with. His instincts make his scores elevate a project to a height it couldn't achieve on its own. I won't do another film without him.
DirectorHunter West
There are few composers who can internalize the vivid emotion I'm looking for and turn it into music with the expediency and creativity that Davis employs. He's my first call for films where I need a cinematic journey to unfold.
