Presley Davis Jr. acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and pays respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past, present and emerging.

I tip my hat to the generations of musicians, writers and artists upon whose shoulders I stand. Particularly those who struggled against seemingly insurmountable barriers to have their voices heard, and those who have personally shared their wisdom and creativity with me.
