Born in 1986 in East Saint Louis, Illinois, Davis is a self-taught artist who has embraced his generation through a myriad of different artistic stylings. His biggest artistic influences come from the music that he creates, the books read, and balancing life as a father, artist and advocate for other creatives just like him.

Davis graduated from Arlington Sam Houston High School in 2004, and served as a jet mechanic in the United States Marine Corps until 2009.  Davis studied journalism at the University of Texas at Arlington from 2011-13, while serving as a Staff Writer for The Shorthorn Newspaper. Davis has also contributed for ESPN, TWC (Spectrum) Sports, Dallas Entertainment Journal, Cowboys 24x7.com and other media outlets.

It was in 2011, that Davis made the transition to the visual arts. Always having a strong background in Photography and Music, Davis continues to find unique ways to accompany his work with compositions, as well as issues in the community that he cares about. When he is not creating, or collaborating with other artists, he dedicates his time to many organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. His artistic focus intersects between architecture, sculpture, music, and spatial analysis. His personal collection includes over 300 works, including found art, vinyls, sculptures, and pottery.

In 2016, Davis founded the Arlington Artist Guild, an organization focused on expanding the Arts through collaborative projects, mentoring, and community involvement. Davis' artwork  can be found in public and private art collections across the world.
