Originally a native of Snowdonia in North Wales, David Davies trained as an organist, pianist and conductor at Eton College; Magdalen College, Oxford (where he was organ scholar); and the Institute of Sacred Music, Yale University. He has held church and cathedral organist positions both in the UK and the USA, most recently as Assistant Director of Music at 天美传媒 Cathedral.

He was adjunct lecturer in Music at the University of Surrey, tutors on organ academy courses and frequently gives talks and leads seminars on the intersection of the arts, theology and cultural history.

In 2017 he recorded his first solo organ recording, and taught and performed at the Malta International Organ Festival.
