    their own biography

    the whole biography
    At the age of 15, he found himself estranged from his immediate family. It was during this pivotal time that The House of Xtravaganza and Mustache Mondays played a crucial role in nurturing and exposing a young Rush X to the vibrant underground counterculture. These experiences not only shaped his identity but also honed his skills behind the decks and microphone, revealing his capacity to breathe life into the creative visions of his collaborators. His innate talent was further refined and expanded through mentorship under the guidance of Doriana Sanchez, a seasoned professional with a portfolio including works with Cher, Cirque Du Soleil, and SYTYCD. Through this mentorship, Rush transcended his limitations, gaining invaluable experience. Continuing to impact the artistic landscape, Rush serves as a creative director, steering the developmental paths of various artists. His portfolio (Serpentwithfeet, THEY, Afropunk) boasts an impressive array of achievements, spanning from steering album rollouts and music videos to shaping brand identities and live performances. As a revered producer and songwriter, Rush Davis has garnered notable credits collaborating with esteemed names such as Shaun Ross, Taraji P. Henson, Kelly Rowland, Afrojack, Tylah Yaweh, George Clinton, Duke Dumont, Tokimonsta, Kaytranada, SZA, Rochelle Jordan, Doja Cat, and many more. He shares two albums, "Transmission" and "XMSN DS," available across all streaming platforms, a testament to his enduring partnership and creative synergy with longtime friend and collaborator Kingdom, released under the YoungArt/FadeToMind label. His recent endeavors include venturing into event production with the establishment of his celebrated seasonal Tuesday party, "Never Forget A Face," in Downtown Los Angeles. Described as "A living altar dedicated to the queer nightlife architects that paved the way," this event stands as a testament to his commitment to honoring and celebrating influential figures in the nightlife scene. Adding to his achievements, Rush Davis graced the stage as the opening act for Beyoncé during the sold-out Renaissance World Tour in August 2023. Furthermore, he captivated another sold-out audience at the Hollywood Palladium, sharing the stage with Zhu. Notably, Rush also penned the latest single, "Lover/Friend,” for Kaytranada and Rochelle Jordan. With an indomitable presence in the underground scene, Rush Davis stands as an influential force to be reckoned with, consistently leaving an indelible mark on the world of artistry and entertainment.
