Early life
Davison was born on January 28, 1983, in Douglasville, Georgia, where he first learned to play the drums and started his musical career.
Career
Luti-Kriss
In 1997, Davison co-founded the band Luti-Kriss which changed their name to Norma Jean after having been confused for the rapper too many times.
Colour Revolt
In early 2010, Davison started playing music again with the indie rock band Colour Revolt. He played several shows with them and recorded drums on their latest record, The Cradle.[1]
Underoath
In May 2010, Davison succeeded drummer Aaron Gillespie in the band Underoath before the group disbanded in 2013. Davison helped write and record what was thought to be Underoath's last and final record, Ø (Disambiguation).[1][2]
When Underoath reunited in 2015, Davison was not featured in the new line-up due to Gillespie coming back in the band.[3]
Every Time I Die
In February 2015, Davison replaced Ryan "Legs" Leger in the band Every Time I Die until 2017.[4] He has since also released solo songs.
Other projects
