Kim Davis

Along with his dreams of playing clarinet and saxophone hampered when his lip broke right into a rash, Kim Davis switched towards the bass. Your choice demonstrated fortuitous, as Davis is continuing to grow into among the best program players in NY. A sideman for Janet Jackson, Johnny Kemp, Lionel Hampton, Pal Full, Mel Lewis, Peter Erskine, Mike Mainieri, Nia Peeples, and Tom Chapin, Davis continues to be highlighted on albums by Najee, Bruce Handbag, Cliff Branch, Skipworth & Turner, Prince Charles & His Town Beat Music group, Johnny Walker, and Ophelie Wintertime. Acquiring his initial bass at age 13, Davis trained himself to try out along with information and the air. Participating in New York’s SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL of Music and Artwork, he stated, “That is where the complete music world opened up if you ask me.” Influenced from the bass playing of Marcus Miller, Davis contacted the expert bass player, who was simply carrying out in the pit music group of Weldon Irvine’s play Youthful, Gifted and Broke. Impressing Miller along with his dedication and desire to understand, Davis soon discovered himself playing duets with Miller. Although he shaped his first music group, Masters of Audio, shortly after conference Miller, Davis discovered his greatest achievement as a program player.
