As a member of the legendary band, The Monkees, DAVY JONES is one of the world's most recognized performers.

Born December 30, 1945 in Manchester, England, DAVY first acted in a school production of Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship as a race horse jockey, DAVY appeared in two television programs, June Evening and Coronation Street, and in BBC Radio's play There is a Happy Land. When he landed the role of the Artful Dodger in the new London musical, Oliver!, DAVY began moving toward America. His performance took him to the Broadway production, and an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, the same night as The Beatles' American Debut.

Recognizing DAVY'S greatest talent, Colpix Records signed him to a recording contract. Continuing his television appearance on shows such as Ben Casey and The Farmer's Daughter, DAVY'S popularity and talent garnered so much attention, that Screen Gems created an opportunity that would boost DAVY’S career into the stratosphere - The Monkees.

From 1966-68, the television Monkees became a real musical group, recording nine albums, with 10 Top 20 hits. Their success was nothing short of a phenomenon. DAVY sang some of their most popular hits including "DAYDREAM BELIEVER", "A LITTLE BIT ME, A LITTLE BIT YOU", "I WANT TO BE FREE", and "VALLERI".

After recording his last album as a Monkee, DAVY pursued a solo recording career with Bell records and MGM. Simultaneously, DAVY revived his role as the Artful Dodger in Oliver! and made television appearances including The Brady Bunch and Love American Style. In 1975, DAVY joined with Micky Dolenz and hit songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart for the Golden Hits of The Monkees tour. DAVY and Micky teamed up again as acting partners in Harry Nilsson’s play, The Point, in London's West End.

Monkee fever struck again after Arista released Then And Now: The Greatest Hits of the Monkees. Monkee marathons followed on Nickelodeon and MTV. Three of the original Monkees recorded a new album, Pool It, and embarked on a 1986 20th Anniversary Tour which lasted through 1989. Davy continued to work on the road in the early 90's as a solo artist, playing Fagin in Oliver! and Vic Fontaine in the touring production of Grease.
