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.

Dear Davis, it's mama
I promise no more drama
When I'm famous you're gonna get everything you wanna
Dear Davis, I promise, I promise
Yeah, I promise
Where I'm from it ain't no fun
The girls wear pumps and the boys wear guns
And the kids got dreams and their dreams get crushed
And their grandmas pray, but it ain't enough
So, I made up my mind
No, I'm not losing to these streets
In fact, I won't be going back until they name one after me
Dear Davis, it's mama
I promise no more drama
When I'm famous, you're gonna get everything you wanna
Dear Davis, I promise, I promise
Yeah, I promise
Now some might say that my dream came true
But it was all downhill after There For You
The whole world said I wasn't prepared for you
And then I got locked up and couldn't care for you
So see, we got a lot to prove, it ain't easy where we're going
But clap your hands if you're happy and you know it, babe
Mama love you, she just don't know how to show it, baby
'Cause, I made up my mind
No, I'm not losing to these streets
In fact, I won't be going back until they name one after me
Dear Davis (It's mama)
I promise no more drama
When I'm famous, you'll have every single thing you want
Davis, I promise, yeah, I promise
Yeah (Mmh)
