Hi, I'm Ken Davies

I'm a composer and arranger working in classical, pop and electronic music for concert and industry including writing for orchestra, chamber ensembles, solo voice, chorus, keyboards and for film, video, TV, advertising, websites and more.

My concert works have won some awards along the way and have been performed across America at major new music festivals like Society of Composers, Southeastern  Composers League, Christian Fellowship of Art Music Composers, Electronic Music Midwest and International Trombone Festival. I've  received awards from Mississippi Arts Commission, ASCAP, South Arts  and Eastern Trombone Workshop. My works are published by Kenvad Music.

I have also worked in the commercial music field performing, arranging for and producing records and music for national television and corporate video projects.

Originally from Wisconsin, I presently live in south Mississippi on the part of the Gulf Coast made famous in 2005 by the hurricane Katrina and in 2010 by the BP oil spill.

In addition to composing, I remain active as a private music teacher (brass). I write occasional articles and design websites. I sometimes write my own lyrics, but my wife Judy (a published poet) does better, in addition to managing our publishing activities.

Our two cats, Little Fluff and Darius Meow often supervise the creation of new works. As Albert Schweitzer once stated, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
