Nefer Davis has long cherished the dream of spending his latter years as a recording artist and performer. Born in London, Nefer (his adopted name taken from the Egyptian word for ‘the beautiful one’ inspired by his deep interest in 18th dynasty Ancient Egypt) has loved music for as long as he can remember, listening to artists like Alma Cogan, Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney as a child before discovering the music of Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin as a teenager.
Nefer worked in record shops, wrote for different fan magazines and spent years working behind the scenes always secretly hoping that his voice might be heard and he would be ‘discovered’. He recorded demos, wrote songs and occasionally performed during a stay in the U.S. in cities like New York and Los Angeles.
Returning to London in 2009, Nefer concluded that it was time to finally fulfill his passion for singing and performing! He noted the reaction to Susan Boyle, the 51-year old British singer who has become a major recording artist throughout the world and realized that he too could be an inspiration for others in fulfilling their dreams regardless of age or circumstance.
Nefer will be recording several original compositions while adding his ‘smoky mocha’ tones to some tunes from the catalogs of Laura Nyro, The Marvelettes and The Beatles for the first CD. His aim is to appeal to the generations that love the music of Sade, Norah Jones, Mose Allison and of course, Nina Simone, his primary musical mentor to whom he pays tribute during live shows.
His music is the kind he'd like to hear in Starbucks, on a long distance flight...and his dreams are to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, The Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall - in no particular order! Go, Nefer, go!
