Quincy Davis

Quincy Davis, born in Grand Rapids, MI, comes from a very musical family. He began taking drum lessons at age 6 and often would play with his brother Xavier Davis (piano) in their basement. In his elementary and middle school bands, he also played trumpet and tuba. His formal musical studies began during his 11th grade year at Interlochen Arts Academy (IAA). There he studied classical percussion as well as trap-?�\set drumming. IAA is where he received his first experience playing with a jazz band. IAA proved to be an important contribution to Davis�� future successes. In 1995, Davis graduated from IAA and began college at Western Michigan University
