Davis' writing projects have included a variety of theatre pieces and plays. "Mudsurfing", a collection of three short stories, received the 1991 Brio Award from the Bronx Council on the Arts. "The Trial" (later renamed, "The Trial: Judgement of the People"), an anti-drug abuse, one-act play that toured throughout the New York City shelter system, was produced Off-Broadway in 1990, at the McGinn Cazale Theater. Davis also arranged, performed, and co-wrote the music for an Emmy Award-winning film, "To Be a Man". In the fall of 1995, his music was used in the national PBS series, "The American Promise".
