Joshua David Davis is a classical composer and pianist based in Birmingham, AL.

He took piano lessons at a local conservatory from age five to age ten, and has played in the church his entire life. He accredits his ability to improvise on the piano from there.

He formally began his classical composing career at Samford University as an undergraduate student, and has written multiple chamber and piano works.

As a freelance musician, he continues to write piano music with inspiration from his favorite piano composers, which are J. S. Bach, Frédéric Chopin, and Maurice Ravel. He is also working towards writing orchestra music, which he says is a huge dream of his.
