Daniel Travis Davison (born January 28, 1983) is an American musician, songwriter, artist, and filmmaker. He is also a co-founder and former drummer of the band Norma Jean and a former drummer of Underoath and Every Time I Die.

Davison was born on January 28, 1983, in Douglasville, Georgia, where he first learned to play the drums and started his musical career.^{[citation needed]}

In 1997, Davison co-founded the band Luti-Kriss. They changed their name to Norma Jean after having been confused for the rapper with a similar sounding name, Ludacris.^{[clarification needed][when?]}

In early 2010, Davison joined the indie rock band, Colour Revolt. He played several shows with them and recorded drums on their latest record, The Cradle.^[1]

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 last and final record, Ø (Disambiguation).^[1][2]

When Underoath reunited in 2015, Davison was not featured in the new line-up due to Gillespie coming back in the band.^[3]

In February 2015, Davison replaced Ryan "Legs" Leger in the band Every Time I Die until 2017.^[4] He has since also released solo songs.^{[citation needed]}

Davison has directed and produced music videos. His most recent videos include the final music video for the band Anberlin for the song "Stranger Ways," and mewithoutYou's "Dorothy" and "Red Cow."^[5]
