Profile

Discipline: Media Scoring

Ben Davis is a music supervisor and producer with deep roots and expertise in licensing and branded content.

Davis has straddled the worlds of music and film throughout his career, including college radio, performing and recording with the alternative country band Wagon and his duo Davis Kathriner, and producing and licensing music for film and advertising.

In the music department at Saatchi & Saatchi, Davis helped develop and maintain unique musical voices for globally recognized brands. He continued this brand-centric approach as a producer at music house Tomandandy, and then founded Music for Picture, where he developed original music with in-house composer partners and a roster of independent artists.

Through his own imprint label Amano Recordings, Davis has recorded, mixed, and produced the likes of Nathaniel Rateliff, Andrew Bird, Martha Wainwright, and Thao Nguyen.

Now, as an independent music supervisor and producer, Davis continues to produce original music and audio for new and established media while also procuring existing music for clients, handling creative and logistic responsibilities. This includes negotiating contracts with record labels and publishers as well as licensing from production libraries.

His own songwriting and recording has continued through Davis Kathriner, whose 2018 album featured collaborations with Laura Cantrell, Erik Friedlander, and Tony Scherr.

Davis joined Feirstein as an adjunct faculty member to use his production superpowers for good, advising the next generation of music and sound makers.
