Ever since he was given a cassette of Australia’s Daly Wilson Big Band at age 12, Tim Davies had the dream to write for and play drums in his own big band. That goal was realized in 1998 when he formed his first big band in Melbourne, Australia. Although it only had a short run before Davies moved to the States the band made quite an impact. Since 2000 Davies has led a big band in Los Angeles featuring top session and touring players. The band's first record, Epic, was released in 2003 and a new album, Dialmentia, will be released by Origin records in May 2009. Grounded in the traditional, his music adds elements of rock, metal and hip hop, creating a blend that is truly unique. Davies' big band music is now played all over and often recorded and broadcast. He is often commissioned, most recently by the Australian Army to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Band Corps and has been a guest artist with bands in Australia, Europe and the USA.

When not writing for or leading the band, Davies has found his niche working as an arranger, orchestrator and conductor in Hollywood.
