Shermell ‘Sherm’ Davis, a Producer, from Albany Georgia just two hours southwest of Atlanta. My story is somewhat similar to most folks who started out in music. I come from humble beginnings, in a single parent household, born and raised in a small country town with big city dreams. My family is a music loving family, although we didn’t have much growing up, as a kid, I always remembered us getting together playing music and cooking some food. Before my dad got sent off, he left behind a lot of his old records from the 70s and 80s along with a nice stereo system. My mom would always play music too while we clean up the house. I remember a lot of those old school soul songs and different melodies from me hearing them then, Sherm said.  Sherm spent the most of his years growing up living with his grandmother, where she would send for him to go to church for bible study and attend church for Sunday school. I would only stay for the service a lot of times just to watch the drummer play, Sherm said. My interest was in the beat and how it moved the folks in the congregation. I joined the band in middle school wanting to play the drums but end up on the Trombone. I really enjoyed the trombone and learning how to read music along with traveling and participating in state wide competitions, but it was just enough to start creating the music I heard in my head. I never really learn how to read music, but I knew my scales and could listen to a song one time and play it back.  I Nick Cannon all the way til I got to high school, Sherm said,  It helped me in the marching band remembering songs but I hated band practice and decided to play sports instead. By now I’m in the 10th grade so after practice I would run home and lock up in my bedroom. I discovered Fruity Loops but it wasn’t as advance as it is now. I took what knowledge I did pick up on in band and put it into making some beats. My cousin had a studio back then where I would go and run into some of the guys who was rapping at the time. Although they didn’t like my beats and I often got picked at, that didn’t stop me from creating and so I stuck around and learn to track vocals and mix. After years passed and working with some major recording artist landing placements, Sherm toured with artist(s) in the southern region of the US where he was introduced to other sounds and music professionals. Davis started his own production and music publishing company, where he launched Grind Factory Music Publishing in 2010. With the opportunity for a Music Supervisor, Sherm was introduced to the film world threw Maverick Film. Sherm took on a new path in film which later on went winners of Audience Choice Award, Buffalo Niagara Film Festivals, and Palm Beach International Film Festival. Today, you can find Sherm working on building his business in collaboration with other producers forming his production catalog for artist and film projects. I want to do TV, Sherm said, I believe with all the reality tv shows now and how affordable it is to pick up a camera and film nowadays somebody going to need some background music. When asked, "What's next"? With his normal, quiet and laid back demeanor, Davis says, "my short term goal was to be a Hot Producer ", when God says it's time to become larger, I'll be prepared.
