Davis Mallory established a love for music early on in his native city of Atlanta where he started creating original music of his own. His first ‘official release’ was a song that he wrote in tribute to one of his MTV reality show – The Real World / Road Rules Challenge co-stars Diem Brown titled “Beautiful Girls” premiering in People Magazine. His followup and second single “Anyone Would Know,” remixed by Swedish DJ John Dahlback released summer 2017 on Armada Records and was impressively streamed on over 400 playlists worldwide.
Mallory released his debut EP “Loud” in 2017 on his independent label Lion Boy Records, with the music video for single “Be Without You” premiering on the influential music and culture website PopDust. The single “Because of Love,” a collaboration with French artist Vorden premiered in Dance Music website Your EDM. The title track “Loud” was remixed by EDM artist Landis and signed to Grammy-nominated French DJ Cedric Gervais’ label Delecta. The track “Not That Far Away” received significant retail radio play in both the US and France thus opening up the door to a 3-song project with French DJ Loic Penillo: “Thinking of U” signed to Warner Denmark, as well as “Dance With Me” (aired on MTV France and nominated for Best Music Video at the 2018 International Out Web Awards) and “Drink You Away” both singles signed to the French label Sidekick Music.
