Mr Davis, 31, featured in the confronting documentary The Oasis and the 2019 follow-up Life After The Oasis — both of which detail youth homelessness in Sydney.
On Wednesday night he was a special guest at the screening of Life After The Oasis at Village Cinemas, Shepparton to mark Homelessness Week.
During his time in Shepparton, Mr Davis made a visit yesterday to the Education First Youth Foyer to work with some of the students.
Mr Davis asked the students to create their own lyrics, which he helped compile into a song.
"I'm doing a bit of an unofficial jam, and coach a little on lyrics. I'll get them to write a one-word lyric and we'll put it all together.
"The thing that saved me from the streets was music. It has become my passion and I want to share that with other youths that are going through the same situation.
"We can use music as a tool to connect and hopefully create change."
Mr Davis was kicked out of home aged just 13 due to drug and alcohol-fuelled violence happening behind closed doors.
When he was first on the streets he slept at the Woolongong train station toilets.
Mr Davis said from there things went downhill.
"I used drugs to mask the pain. I was committing crime to survive on the streets and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
"I was in and out of a juvenile justice centre until I was 18. It was when I arrived at Oasis (Sydney youth homeless centre) is when I discovered music, and things changed."
Because Mr Davis was featured in the documentary, he was a little bit of a "surprise celebrity" after the film screening organised by The Bridge Youth Service.
"When I came out I think a lot of people were shocked,'' he said.
"The main point of the film is to create awareness to homelessness and make people aware the of the situation in their community."
The Bridge chief executive Melinda Lawley said the film "definitely made an impact" on the audience.
"We had our state member of parliament, professionals (teachers, youth workers, lawyers and social workers), community members and young people in the audience.
"All became involved in following the lives of the young people in the film and demonstrated an understanding and empathy for how their lives had panned out.
"Being able to speak with one of these young people who experienced homelessness for a large part of their young life was poignant."
After Mr Davis was introduced to the 90-strong audience he took part in a question-and-answer session.
Mrs Lawley said his presence was the highlight of the evening.
"Owen was keen to speak with the audience and they took the opportunity to ask many questions about youth homelessness.
"The documentary demonstrated the harshness of living a life without a home and family, where the workers in their life really made a difference and helped them find a direction."
