In 1997, Davison co-founded the band Luti-Kriss. They changed their name to Norma Jean after having been confused for the rapper with a similar sounding name, Ludacris.[clarification needed][when?]

Colour Revolt

In early 2010, Davison joined the indie rock band, Colour Revolt. He played several shows with them and recorded drums on their latest record, The Cradle.[1]

Underoath

edit

In May 2010, Davison succeeded drummer Aaron Gillespie in the band Underoath before the group disbanded in 2013. Davison helped write and record what was thought to be Underoath's last and final record, Ø (Disambiguation).[1][2]

When Underoath reunited in 2015, Davison was not featured in the new line-up due to Gillespie coming back in the band.[3]
