Early life and career

Luti-Kriss

Norma Jean
In 2002, Luti-Kriss changed its name to Norma Jean. In 2007, after 10 years with Norma Jean, Davison decided to part ways with the band and pursue his own artistic endeavors.
Colour Revolt
In early 2010, Davison started playing music again with the indie rock band Colour Revolt. He played several shows with them and recorded drums on their latest record, The Cradle.[3]
Underoath
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 final record, Ø (Disambiguation).[3][4] When Underoath reunited in 2015, Davison was not featured in the new line-up due to Gillespie coming back in the band.
