Tim Davies was born in Brisbane in 1972. He studied percussion and composition at the Queensland Conservatorium then composition at the Elder Conservatorium and the University of Melbourne. In 1998 he was awarded grants from the Queen's Trust and the Ian Potter foundation that enabled him to further his studies at the University of Southern California. Davies primary composition teachers have been Gerard Brophy, Greame Koehne, Brenton Broadstock and Leonard Rosenman.
From a young age, Davies has been fascinated by the sound and energy of the big band and in recent years has written almost exclusively for the ensemble. Having formed his first big band in Melbourne in 1998, Davies now leads a band in Los Angeles and conducts and plays drums with big bands all over the world. His debut album, Epic, caused quite a stir with its mix of traditional big band with hip hop and heavy metal and a follow up is expected mid 2007.
Currently living in Los Angeles, Davies is an arranger, orchestrator and conductor for commercial music. Recent orchestrating and conducting highlights include scores for the movies When a Strangers Calls (Sony) and The Pathfinder (Fox) and the video games SOCOM 3 & 4 and God of War 2 (Sony). He has conducted at all the major Los Angeles sound stages, in London at AIR Lyndhurst and Abbey Road and in Bratislava and Prague. As an arranger he has done commissions for clients all over the world.
