Best known for his work on The Matrix franchise, he has worked on numerous television and film scores, collaborating with directors including The Wachowskis, Ronny Yu, and Joe Johnston in film genres ranging from horror, to action, to comedy. He is the recipient of two Primetime Emmy Awards and four BMI Film Music Awards.
Davis was born in Anaheim, California. After graduating from high school, Davis enrolled at UCLA. He continued his study of musical composition with tutor Henri Lazarof. Additionally, he learned orchestration from Albert Harris. During their orchestration lessons, Harris introduced Davis to the TV composer Joe Harnell, who supported Davis during his search for work—his first job was working for composer Mark Snow's TV show Hart to Hart. He has worked as an orchestrator and conductor for Michael Kamen, Alan Silvestri, James Horner, and Randy Newman.
Davis won Emmys in 1990 for Beauty and the Beast and 1995 for SeaQuest DSV. He wrote scores mostly for television series up until 1995, in which he wrote a few of the cues for the animated Disney motion picture A Goofy Movie. He continued to score television series until the two then young directors, the Wachowskis, hired him to score their neo-noir film Bound. It was reasonably successful at the box office. Bound was the film which led Davis into becoming the composer for the entire Matrix trilogy. Subsequently, Davis has composed scores for films such as Jurassic Park III (recommended to the filmmakers by John Williams, the composer of the scores for the first two films in the series), House on Haunted Hill, Behind Enemy Lines, and The Unsaid. In 2004, he produced the music score for the BBC science fiction documentary series Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets, released as Voyage to the Planets and Beyond in the United States.
Davis' magnum opus is Matrix franchise: The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Animatrix. It was set apart from other film scores of its time for its atonality and avant garde style of composition, with influences from polytonal minimalist works like John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine and cluster-like as well as aleatoric techniques prominent in the works of composer Witold Lutosławski.
Don Davis' dark opera, Río de Sangre, received its premiere at the Florentine Opera Company on October 22, 2010. Previously, excerpts from the opera were performed in Los Angeles with the Los Angeles Master Chorale on November 6, 2005, and the New York City Opera on May 13, 2007.

The fact that Davis was laughing before that first punch knock tell you he read Garcia like a book
@GoldenMean743
The fact that he kept hugging tells me he was fronting the smiles. It was more of a psychological game he was playing with Garcia, one that paid off.
@3yoh23
@GoldenMean tank's the goat period
@dennysmarmartina
@3yoh He's crying in every comment thread, let him cope.😢😂
@chadtep7571
@Denny Ghxst right? He’s replying to every positive comment about Tank with the same thing. Like clinching won him the fight.
@sergio7139
Tank fool tf out of Ryan. Made him think he was hurt. Ryan got all excited and that’s when the first knock down came in. Ryan is a horrible fighter. Boy has no defense no foot work. Any top boxer in the division will drop him. Specially if he goes up to 140
@TheOriginalBattler
Ryan is quick, but he’s extremely 1-Dimensional. That’s how Tank was able to read the room. Great fight fellas.
@GamingforNostalgiaForFun
Can't expect everyone to have a skill set like tanks plus Ryan was fighting weight drained so yeah
@sashaacovski2789
his punches are extremely fast and we don’t know what it’s like to fight him in the ring
@ShaquilleOneal0034
@Grand Gaming Legend no excuses
