Like a doctor is “called” to help heal the sick, there are those who are “called” to help heal the soul. And when Worthy Davis sings, you feel the emotional honesty that is reflected in his smoky, tenor voice all the way in your bones and it is clear ; he has answered his “calling.“ Growing up in Denver, Colorado he could’ve already heard the call when at four years old he stood up in the church choir stand on Youth Sunday and sang to his first standing ovation. It could’ve come at his elementary school basketball game when instead of listening to the coaches second-half strategy, he was bobbing his head to the beat blasting from the speakers of the half time entertainment. “We got our asses kicked 26-10!” he remembers.

“I think I never actually woke up one morning and decided to write songs about the madness I go through, then bare it all in front of a crowd of people by singing about it on stage. I kind of.. never not did it, actually.” Unsure about his future after high school and the reality that his calculus tutor had pretty much given up on his inability for manipulating word problems, Worthy set off to see the world and feed his musical hunger. He saw New York, Paris and even Romania but landed in Los Angeles. After a series of odd jobs and failed auditions, the L.A. decision finally paid off. A breakthrough came when “by accident, really”, he found himself singing with a band of studio musicians in what turned out to be the weekly jam session at the world famous China Club.

(well, everyone but Milli Vanilli, but that’s another story). They were all just hangin and having fun” Worthy recalls. “When I managed not to be star-struck I began developing my own stage presence, singing style and musical identity that people were drawn to." These sessions also opened up the doors to music collaborations in L.A.’s sometimes finicky songwriting community and he landed his first big release through Virgin America called “Under The Influence” with recording artist Paula Abdul on her “Head Over Heals” Album. His work also found it’s way into the first Eddie Murphy’s Nutty Professor movie and he’s been on a roll ever since. He’s shared the stage and/or studio with Dr. Dre (Eminem, 50 Cent),

and was the official support act for Britney Spear’s “Oops, I did it again” tour throughout the country. He’s also written songs for German-signed artists like Haddaway, Bad Boys Blue, 4 The Cause and Top 20 recording group The Soultans. He is currently performing his electrifying live show at a variety of concerts and events and is a featured singer on The Heavy Tones new CD, The Stefan Raab Show’s house band, now available in record stores. There may not be any scalpel or IV tubes laying around but he does make house calls. Whether it’s live on stage or the intimacy of your MP3 headphones, you will hear songs about love, longing, humor, loss and hope. Worthy sings with the conviction of someone who was “called” for nothing more than to heal your soul.

Maybe it was in high school when he sat at the back of the classroom writing poetry to his girlfriend instead of taking notes for his calculus midterm. There was really never a defining moment but a series of trials and errors that inspired Worthy to put his experiences into words and eventually bring them to life in the living room on the family’s upright piano.

On any given Monday night he found himself on stage with an allstar cast of singers and musicians including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Kahn, David Paich and Steve Lukather from the band TOTO to name a few. “No one seemed to act like a celebrity during these sessions and everyone treated me like a peer
