Jeremy Davis

Jeremiah Clayton Davis, born on February 8, 1985, in Little Rock, Arkansas, initiated his musical journey at an early age. In 2002, at 17, while residing in Franklin, Tennessee, he participated in a funk cover band called The Factory. It was during this period that he met Hayley Williams, who would later be instrumental in the formation of Paramore. Through Williams, Davis was introduced to brothers Josh and Zac Farro. Paramore was formed in 2004, with Davis joining as the bassist. He briefly left the band around the release of their debut album, “All We Know Is Falling,” in 2005, but rejoined to tour for their subsequent album, “Riot!,” in 2007. Davis continued as the bassist through the touring cycle for the 2013 self-titled album “Paramore.”

His tenure with Paramore included significant contributions to albums such as “Riot!,” “The Final Riot!,” “Live in the UK,” “Brand New Eyes” (2009), and “Paramore” (2013). In 2014, Davis was recognized for his musical contributions with a nomination for Best Bassist at the Alternative Press Music Awards. Beyond his role in Paramore, Davis engaged in other musical endeavors. He co-produced and played bass on the B.o.B. song “Violet Vibrato” in 2015, showcasing his abilities beyond the rock genre. His departure from Paramore was announced in December 2015, marking a turning point in his career.

Following his departure from Paramore, Davis continued to pursue independent projects. In October 2020, he established his record label, Post Trap Entertainment, alongside Carter Gaddis. This venture represented a shift towards a more entrepreneurial role in the music industry. In May 2021, Davis released his solo debut album, “Grand Ole Opportunity.” This album provided a platform for his individual artistic expression as a musician, songwriter, and rapper, further diversifying his professional accomplishments. These developments highlight his evolution from a band member to an independent artist and industry professional.
