Robert Davis is a composer who specializes in diversity. He has no particular style that he sticks to. Having spent most of his study in his early years trying to understand the complex chromatic harmony of Wagner and Mahler, he wrote his first symphonic poem at age 19 in a harmonic style similar to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.

This landed him a big job in the sample library industry when very few "big" computer libraries existed. Here he was a consultant as well as a Demo creator for Garritan Orchestral Libraries. Eventually, he worked for MakeMusic (the creators of Finale notation software) creating demos and consulting, before branching out on his own.
