About Me

My name is Benny Davis, I am a musician and occasional comedian from Sydney.

​

I’m best known as the keyboard player from The Axis of Awesome, where I spent ten years writing, recording and performing comedy songs.

​

Since leaving the group, I have continued making comedy music, and have solo works available on all platforms. I also compose and produce music freelance for a variety of clients.

​

I have taught music privately in various forms for nearly 20 years, beginning with tutoring harmony and aural perception to other students whilst still studying at the Conservatorium.

I teach classical and contemporary piano, as well as musicianship and theory, which I feel are the most vital part of music education. I believe that learning these fundamental music skills enable any student to pursue music independently.

​

My background as a classical musician and my years of experience writing and performing pop music allow me to offer a wholistic approach to music education; not simply learning a specific discipline, but building music skills that can be applied to any area of musical endeavour.

I have a Bachelor of Music from the Sydney Conservatorium, an Audio Engineering Diploma from the Singapore School of Music & The Arts, and an expired busking licence from the City of Sydney.
