David Henrard (born 13 April 1973), also known by his stage name JD Davis and Dave Davis, is a Belgian musician. He started his career in music at the age of 17 when he moved to Antwerp to work at Bonzai Records.[2] His early releases, starting with "Transfiguration" around 1995 were under the name Dave Davis while signed to Bonzai Records. Other early aliases include Les Sabotages, Phrenetic System and Davis & Santini. He has since performed at clubs and festivals worldwide such as Mayday, Love Parade, Street Parade & Energy (Zurich), Gay Pride (Paris), Francofolies De Spa (Belgium) including a residency at Cherry Moon (Belgium).[3]

Around 2004 saw the release of David Guetta's album titled Guetta Blaster in which JD Davis co-wrote, co-composed and sang on the singles "The World Is Mine" and "In Love with Myself". In 2004, his collaboration with Chab titled "Closer to Me" was released. In 2006, his second album collaboration with Guetta, titled Pop Life was released in which he co-wrote and sang on 3 tracks - "Winner of the Game", "Always" and "This Is Not a Love Song". The same year, Davis received the International Artist of the Year award at the Dance Music Awards in Kyiv (Ukraine) for his collaboration with Guetta, "The World is Mine" which featured his vocals. Other collaborating artists have included Antoine Clamaran, Joachim Garraud, Kiko, Sinema, Playgroup (Trevor Jackson) Tocadisco and Junior Jack.[4]

From 2011, Davis had been working in the studio with Joachim Garraud.

In 2013, Davis had new releases on UK label Skint Records as a DJ/producer with the tracks "New Skin" and "Changed" featuring Skye of Morcheeba on vocals, while contributing a remix of Skye's own single "Nowhere" for PIAS Records UK.

In 2023 the new collaboration between Oliver Heldens, DJs from Mars, and JD Davis on the "Blue Monday" rework serves as a testament to the power of collaboration within the music industry and the ability of talented artists to breathe new life into classic hits while still paying respect to their roots. The track has already received significant airplay across various radio stations, playlists, and clubs worldwide
