Trevor Davis
Singer / Songwriter
The passion and talent of singer-songwriter Trevor Davis are not to be missed. He seamlessly combines pop, rock, and soul to deliver well-constructed songs that are highly original.
Using rich metaphors and clever play on words, he communicates to his listeners with music that is both thought provoking and meaningful. Trevor captivates his audience with a strong, soulful voice that can reach to a cutting falsetto with ease, while engaging them with witty banter and dance moves as entertaining as his music.
Trevor’s life led him on an uneasy road. He didn’t have a father and his mother struggled with drugs and providing for his needs. The seeds for his music were planted early. When he was young his mother and him attended a gospel church. This is where he would soak in the soulful music that would come to influence him so much.
Trevor loves abstract thoughts and double meanings. He doesn’t like to state the obvious. He loves music that makes you think but is also emotional. He says, “Honesty influences me the most. When I surrender, I become connected to a flowing river of inspiration. When trying to be someone I’m not, it’s as if I’m pulling a heavy wagon uphill.” He continues, “Music has to have conviction. I need to believe that people actually experience what they are singing about. Because of this, Trevor is thankful for his hard and hurtful past. He can mix his past with hope, which gives him a larger spectrum to work with in his songwriting.
Since Trevor started playing the independent music scene seven years ago, his fan base has grown immensely. Less than two years from writing his first song, he routinely played packed out shows in San Diego. Trevor has performed on many stages like the House of Blues, Belly Up, and Anthology and has traveled around the world to places like Asia and Europe. Trevor continually tours the west coast as often as he can. All the time spent on the road and playing shows has allowed Trevor to craft his abilities and truly create his own sound.
Trevor has recently started an electronic music project called Dr. Seahorse. Unlike his acoustic shows, with Dr. Seahorse, Trevor is free to move and dance on stage alongside his talented soulful voice.
