11/5/2023 Usually the rewind videos that release in November are just for my film work, but this year the music was so intertwined with everything else, that it needs to be put here as well. This is 2023, as it happened.

2023 Emmy Nomination

8/21/2023 Besides music, I'm also a film producer, specializing in aerial cinematography. Over the years I have amassed 13 wins and 29 nominations. Today, I have become an Emmy Nominee. This nomination was in connection with OrangeScreen Productions, which is owned and operated by my very dear friend, Chris Tinard. The content is a documentary film "QCPD - The Creation of a Department", which was about the grand opening of the Queen Creek Police Department in Arizona. My roll in this production was Drone Pilot and PA. A huge thanks to Chris for bringing me aboard the production. On November 4th, I will attend the black tie Emmy Gala with Chris. I just might walk away with an Emmy award. You never know, so we will see! For now though, becoming an Emmy nominee is absolutely awesome. This is a very special event, and one I'm very honored to be a part of.

In Loving Memory of KC Lyon

8/10/2023 KC Lyon, my absolute best friend and music partner, departed this world on August 2, 2023. He was a USMC Veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan during 9/11. He also owned his own PC repair shop, "PC Simplicity" in Prescott Valley, AZ, and was loved by the community. KC was the lead vocalist for the bands, Postmordia, Krawlspace, and Chaos Over Cosmos. KC and I were the best of friends. Just as I encouraged him with his vocals, he did the same with me and my music. He was the brightest light in my life and will be forever missed. His love for everyone will always be remembered. The top video is my personal dedication to him, with footage and pictures I took, and some selfies he did. The song in the video is "Quest of the Vox Man" from my Limitless album. It features KC singing repeated soft vocals. The video on the bottom is from KC's YouTube channel, KCDoesVox. His last upload, "Careless Whisper", is the best vocal cover he had ever done.
I love you KC... my rock, my touchstone, my hero.

KC Lyon

8/6/2023 This is very hard for me to write, so I will keep it short. My dear KC, who's been featured on several of my songs, has passed away. KC was one of those people who come into your life, not by chance, but clearly directed by some divine hand. He was my best friend, and I was his. Our love and respect for each other was truly the purest form of friendship one could ever dream of having. KC meant more to me than anyone will ever know. My buddy, my partner in music crime, my rock and touchstone. We were each others biggest fan, and everyone knew it. He screamed vocals in metal bands, but when it came to me, I was the only one who could get him to sing soft vocals. You can find his voice on my songs, "Quest of the Vox Man" (which is actually about him), "Time is the Key", and "Arizona" where he harmonizes with me in a tribal style chant. His friendship was unconditional, and he was completely selfless with everyone. He always had my best interest in mind, as I always did with him. I could never repay him though for the biggest thing he ever did for me, and that was rescuing me in every way imaginable. I love you KC. I always have and I always will. You're my hero, always and forever.

Maria Davis and 7and5

7/31/2023 It was going to happen eventually... I finally met up with John Nixon of 7and5 music. I was in Detroit for other reasons, but meeting up with John was absolutely a highlight. After working remotely together for over a year, producing the singles "Endless", "Ebb and Flow", and the recent album, "Synergy", it was great to finally be face to face and give a big hug! During my time with John, I also met his brother, Tom Nixon, who is a published author and the creator of August Red music. John and Tom also have a podcast called "Out of the Main" which features discussion about yacht rock. They feature some amazing guest stars too, including Kenny Loggins, Jay Gradon and even Marc Jordan. I was able to turn the cameras on John and Tom and interview them about the podcast. You can find "Out of the Main" on Youtube and Spotify. My need to go to Detroit was for film project, which took me on the road through 13 states, filming all of them with my drone, (Mavic Air2S). From the Mexico border to the Canada border, that's how I ended up in Detroit. A huge scenic highlight... if you ever have a chance to go to Warren Sand Dunes at Lake Michigan.... DO IT!

Synergy - The Creation of an Album

In this video Maria Davis and John Nixon talk about the ideas, concept and creation of the Synergy album, with a few extras made for it too. Follow on your preferred streaming platform and get notified when a new album or single drops! - https://linktr.ee/mariadavismusic

Synergy Release Day!!!

5/12/2023 This is an EPIC collaboration between two artists with one single goal, make amazing music! The album is unique in every sense of the word, as both Maria Davis and 7and5 bring listeners into a world where two roads exist within a single foundation of a song.
Maria Davis & 7and5 first collaborated together on the popular single, "Endless", which released in May 2022. Later that year, Maria featured 7and5 as an additional writer for the single, "Ebb and Flow". In early 2023 the idea came about to create different songs, but have similar elements within them, which would be part 1 & 2. After a while, the idea to refer to the songs as an artists impression cemented the direction the album took. This is how Synergy came to be. Two music foundations from Maria, and two from 7and5, all completed by both artists to create an amazing 8 song album.

Synergy Promos!

You've heard the single, "Endless"... You've heard the single, "Ebb and Flow"... Get ready for the EPIC eight song album, "Synergy"!
Enjoy these promos for the release of Synergy! https://mariadavismusic.bandcamp.com/album/synergy

Maria Davis & KC Lyon Podcast

12/7/2022 The very much anticipated podcast with Maria Davis and KC Lyon is here! KC is a very dear friend of mine who has a heart of gold. He's also been a featured artist on several of my songs, "Arizona", "Quest of the Vox Man" and "Time is the Key". We also created the 3 track EP, The Unknown Door in August 2021 (Released now through Glamis on " The Metal Album").

Call Me Maybe album is Out Now!

11/25/2022 The long awaited album is here and is available across streaming services! A little release info for all of ya.... First and foremost, a dedication. I have yet to ever dedicate an album to anyone, however this time I'm doing it. My dear friend Chris Tinard is the lucky guy who gets it. The title of the album bears the nickname given to me by Chris, and really, he's the only one who can call me that (Maybe). Chris has been a solid rock in my life ever since I met him several years ago.... he deserves this. Also... this is uncredited on the album info, but it is always super important to me to give credit where it is due. My friend John Nixon of 7and5 was kind enough to take the midi file for my melody of the title track and put his amazing piano sound to it. It totally brought out the song more than it was originally. KC Lyon, a best friend of mine who has been a featured artist on many of my songs, once again lent his voice to the song, Time is the Key. There's just something about KC's voice that adds so much more to a track! Included on the album is "Afer", featuring Navajo flute maker, artist and really good friend, Michael Goodluck. Fun fact, the flute melody was recorded in a museum of indiginous peoples (after hours), with nobody around except Michael and I. The acoustics worked so much better there than in a recording booth. Recording the music in an area that harbors the history of the Navajo was an experience I will remember forever. Thank you to everyone out there who has been supportive of my music. Thank you for all the streams, playlist adds, SHARES and kind words. It means more to me than you will ever know! https://mariadavismusic.bandcamp.com/album/call-me-maybe

Collab in the works

9/10/2022 A collaboration I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Michael Goodluck is a Navajo flute maker, and his music is enough to take one's breath away. I've known Michael for several years and we finally got together to get a collaboration done.

Maria Davis And John Nixon Podcast

9/1/2022 John Nixon is the creator of 7and5 music. As many already know, we collaborated together for the single "Endless" which released on May 6, 2022. This is a fun and candid conversation about John's music and how he came to create 7and5. There's a bit of talk about the creative process on our collaboration as well.

Twenty in Five Studio

8/30/2022 The studio has officially been named! It's been a long time coming! Finding the right name was no easy task. The foundation that has been built for Maria Davis releases has been based on the phrase "Twenty in Five". It also happens to be the name of a song on the Paradox album. The meaning behind it is rooted in tenacity. No other name would better represent the studio and the continuation of the music.

In Every Way Single Release!

8/26/2022 The release day of "In Every Way" is here! The perfect summertime song to lift the spirits and have fun to! https://linktr.ee/mariadavismusic The music video was super special to produce... featuring the amazing actor, Paul Lincoln Alayo! Paul is a very dear friend of mine. We met on the set of the TV show "Timeless" back in 2018 in Santa Clarita, CA. I was there as the VIP guest of actor Goran Visnjic. I was sitting outside the studio building chatting with the crew waiting for Goran to finish an interview before heading over to rehearsals, and this guy who was decked out in old west gear complete with an awesome hat and poncho comes up to me, shakes my hand, and says it's a pleasure to see me there. I had no clue who he was. A few months later after the episode I was there for aired, I saw a picture posted on Instagram of the guy who came up to me in costume. I left a comment on the post about him coming up to me, he remembered that, and from that point on Paul and I have been great friends. Paul has some amazing acting credits and has even worked with Clint Eastwood twice in the movies "The Mule" and "Cry Macho". Since Paul had already been directed twice by Clint and other professional directors, I had some big shoes to fill.... He was a breeze to direct though. His level of professionalism and talent knows no bounds, and we both had a lot of fun creating the music video.

Sky Shadows Release!

6/10/2022 I'm thrilled to announce the release of Sky Shadows! For me, this album represents a culmination of exploring different sounds, genres and arrangements. While working on the songs, I decided to implement a strong piano presence in combination with synths. The result created a beautiful soundscape. The idea of using a lot of piano came from the work I did on the single, Endless, with the artist 7and5. Actually, I was nearly done with the album when Endless was finished, and before I went to master all the songs I took one last listen and decided I needed to change some of the sounds to piano. (This is why I record nearly everything in MIDI in addition to whatever sound I'm using.) By doing that, it brought so much more life to the music. The title, Sky Shadows, came to be one day while driving out in the desert. I saw a huge cloud with the sun behind it and it was casting a deep blue shadow across the sky. I've seen that more times than I can remember, but that particular time it was so stunning and it stuck with me. I can't say I have ever heard the term "Sky Shadows" before, and it makes for a really great album and song name! Thank you so much for all your support on my musical journey! I hope the music on this album finds you when you need it! You can stream/buy Sky Shadows on your favorite streaming service with the link below! https://linktr.ee/mariadavismusic

Endless Release!

5/6/2022 Bringing the best of both artists together in a beautiful audio experience, Maria Davis & 7and5 teamed up in an amazing collaboration to bring you the uplifting and energetic song, Endless! Out now across all streaming platforms! I had an absolute blast working with 7and5 on this track. It truly is a perfect blending of both our sounds and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I hope you enjoy this song just as much as I did creating it! https://mariadavismusic.bandcamp.com/track/endless

Amicus Release Day!

4/21/2022 My new single, Amicus, is now live across streaming services! This song has a ton of meaning for me and is dedicated to someone who began as a family friend 37 years ago, but has ended up as an honorary family member. Every note speaks about this person, of who she is through my eyes. She loves bass, subdrops, piano, smooth pads... all are present in the song. When writing, I tried to make the song 4:21 long because her birthday is on April 21st, but the music didn't want to be that short. So, I decided to release it on her birthday instead. Amicus is a Latin word for "Friend". I hope everyone enjoys the song! https://linktr.ee/mariadavismusic

Springtime is here!

4/5/2022 It's a beautiful time in Arizona when spring comes! The desert is full of wildflower blooms, the saguaros start crowning with flowers, and inspiration for epic music emerges! Here's a few updates of what is in the works right now.... My good friend KC Lyon and I are working on a new project, this time a full album. Yes, for you metal fans out there... it will be a metal album! As before on our EP, The Unknown Door, all the instumental will be produced by me and KC is doing what he does best with the vocals and lyrics. There's a chance my voice might end up somewhere on the album too. We'll see. Also, and it's too early to release any details about this, but a collaboration is in the beginning stages with an amazing artist who I know you all will love! Stay tuned for more updates coming in the near future!
