I enjoy the creative process, be it music or business, and am committed to living a life of being fearlessly creative.

Currently, I am working to produce a number of artists. As I progress, you will be able to view and listen to a select few of these on this website. I enjoy assisting wtih the development and promotion of people. As for my own music, I continue to develop music for commercial distribution and syncronization to movies. A number of my compositions from La Guitarra Romantica have been used in documentaries, distributed world wide.

I am influenced by...Carlos Santana, Paquito D’Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, Bob Dylan, Donavon, The Doors, The Stones, Vanilla Fudge, Creedance Clearwater, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, The Cream (especially Disraeli Gears), Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Motown (as a groove), Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles, Chopin and multitudes of other artists. I enjoy a very broad array of genres, styles, and modes of expession.

Lyrics/words have literally shaped, moved and evolved my life, especially my emotional life. I earned a B.A. in English Lieterature with minors in both Business Development and Communication Arts. I have been fortunate to both meet and study with very fine musicians.

For one six-year period, I worked as the Accounting Manager and Administrator for multi-million dollar private record label. I enjoyed managing trade show events, assisting with performance contracts, and working with world-class engineers to record live sessions in venues such as The Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, UT. We produced extrememly fine recordings, and, on one occasion, produced an album of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Symphony performing simultaneously. Recording this event was a feat unto itself. Establishing relations with distributors while representing the label at trade shows in Chicago, San Francisco, and Las Vegas was very enjoyable. During this period of time, I learned a great deal about recording techniques, business and the music industry. I remain forever be grateful for that opportunity and the very fine people I worked with. I put accounting systems in place that allowed for that particular company to go on and become a multi-million dollar success in the speaker manufacturing business. After leaving the label, I established Morton Davis Productions as an independent label / publisher.

What is a great song?

Great songs are memorable. That's pretty much it. Memorable. Something you want to hear again, and again. Something that stirs the soul, the mind, the spirit.

Best Regards,

May your inner child's glow, and happiness... forever remain -Morton Davis
Curious to have found this photo of myself as a child: Considering what Alice has to say about crossroads.... it really does matter...

A lesson from Alice in Wonderland:

“Would you tell me, please which way I ought to go from here?” she asked. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” was the reply. “I don’t much care where” she said. “Then, it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

This interaction occurs as Alice arrives to a crossroads and discourses with the Cheshire cat who is perched in a nearby tree. It’s a poignant reminder that the path we take will determine our destination. Whether it’s the path that we are taking for our music, our business, or the path we choose in our relationships, ...it really does matter where we want to go.

Dare to dream and make each day an epic adventure.

"Regards songwriting: Work on a given song, usually for no more than 3 hours, and walk away with something." -Paul McCartney

That's me (white shirt in back row) playing harmonica with our church band! I generally play Alto sax with this group. What fun this is.
