As a producer, Chris “Big Dog” Davis has worked with the likes of musical icons like Brian McKnight, George Clinton, Syleena Jonson and Will Downing, to name a few.
After being diagnosed with a second bout of lymphoma in January of 2020, he decided it was time to step out from behind the curtain and let the world meet him as he takes center stage with his debut album, Focus.
With a life that started with falling in love with music at the age of four, falling out of love with it and joining the U.S. Marine Corps and two exhausting battles with stage four lymphoma, Davis surely has a lot to say.
BlackDoctor.org took a moment to check in with “Big Dog” about how his medical journey has influenced his music, how his diagnosis has impacted his life and for any advice for listeners who may be experiencing similar battles.
