Meet our highly experienced staff of engineers, producers, educators, and musicians.
Embedded in the local music scene for four years, Michelle was fascinated by the intersection of music and technology and the challenges faced by musicians in the digital era. Driven by the desire to better serve as an advocate for artists, she returned to UGA to pursue her law degree. While at Georgia Law she was senior articles editor of the Journal of Intellectual Property Law, president of the Sports and Entertainment Law Society, and was nominated to join the prestigious Atlanta IP Inn of Court as a pupil.
Michelle clerked with entertainment litigation firm Crain Law Group and the office of the general counsel for NPR. As part of Georgia Law’s D.C. Semester In Practice, she took on a legal extern position providing in-depth music policy analysis for the Future of Music Coalition, a non-profit artist advocacy group.
Her love for writing and music law converged in 2015 when her essay, Introducing the RightsCoin: Using BlockChains to Track Copyright Ownership, was named as a finalist in the Grammy Foundation’s Entertainment Law Initiative writing competition.
At some point in law school, she also took a stab at stand-up comedy with two whole performances—garnering rave reviews such as, “maybe don’t” and “stick to copyright.”
In 2015 she launched Davis Entertainment Law, counseling creative professionals (including Kindercore Vinyl, Caroline Aiken, and Cindy Wilson) on matters of IP, contract law and corporate governance. She recently closed her practice to go in-house at the University of Georgia where she negotiates hundreds of contracts each year in the procurement office.
Michelle is honored to join the stellar team at Tweed and grateful for the opportunity to nerd out on copyright in front of a captive audience. She’s looking forward to unpacking the complex legal and business issues that govern the music industry for tomorrow’s production stars so they can confidently build their careers.
Michelle is a member of the Georgia Lawyers for the Arts and serves as chair of the AthFest Educates Board of Directors. She lives in Athens with her husband, two daughters and three dogs.

My instructor’s been pretty awesome, his name’s Nate. He taught me to use Ableton. He’s super knowledgeable and I’ve enjoyed the process of how we’ve been doing it so far.

I had a wonderful experience with your staff and faculty, y’all truly care and seem to have a vested, true interest in our well being in and outside of the facility. In fact, I am quite stunned at the degree to which I was helped with my problems.
