Guest, David Davis
Globally sought-after entertainer and soul singer-songwriter DAVID DAVIS is proving himself worthy of becoming part of Hollywood’s next generation of elite recording artists, songwriters and performers. An “electric energy on stage” as described by the legendary Quincy Jones, Davis creates an unforgettable musical experience for his audience.
Davis’s song, “EVERYTHING IT TOOK TO GET TO YOU,” recorded by Broadway star and Pop Artist Ben Platt, ranked #1 on the New Pop Song Chart, #2 on the Pop Chart, and #5 on the All Song Chart. His debut album, THE LONG & SHORT OF IT was a collection of songs about “the romantic narrative we are sold early on.” Singles from this album were streamed millions of times, and were used over 1.1 billion times on social media.
Davis’ lyricism has proven him to be a dynamic and passionate artist that beautifully captures the essence of difficult, yet worthy feelings of artistic expression. Davis has recorded with many legendary producers such as RedOne (Usher, Lady Gaga, MIKA) to Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Adele). Additionally, Davis’s voice, arrangements, and productions have been featured on chart-topping records, commercials for major brands and networks such as MTV, VH1 and NBC.
Not one to be satisfied, Davis went on to play to sold-out clubs and festivals, both as the headliner and as support for the likes of Jon Bellion and Dave Barnes. Davis has performed on 700+ stages including the Governor’s Ball for the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, a 73-show residency at Quincy Jones’ club Q’s in Dubai, and various virtual shows singing with stars such as Leona Lewis.
Davis lives in Los Angeles with his Black Lab named Ellie and recently released his sophomore album, MEMORY LANE. The stage is now set for Davis to show the diverse angles of his talent on an even grander scale

Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
