Seven Davis Jr – Influences

Seven Davis Jr is a musical sensation. His musical rise is like that of a suspension bridge being built under the supervision of a dictator-esque head of construction. Developing his own unique brand of house music, he adds in splashes of funk, soul and jazz to create an aural cocktail that goes down smoother than a drop of single malt whiskey. Despite his claims that Sammy Davis Jr was not the inspiration for his moniker there's a Rat Pack video squeezed into what might just be the strongest batch of influences we've ever had.
See Seven Davis Jr with Andrew Ashong and Alexander Nut at The Nest, London on Friday 22nd May – click here for tickets and more information.
His debut album Universes is out on July 24th via Ninja Tune.
Movies and films inspire me. This movie is where my deep interest in Prince was born. Specifically the way he blended his sounds, visuals, fashion and story. It played a big part in teaching me how musical inspiration can be pulled from any and every moment of life. Plus so many other things are happening in the movie around the music, is he gay, is he straight, is he a genius, is he a dick, is he misunderstood, is he a romantic or a playboy? So many levels that still speak to moments in my own life.
