On the release of the Fire Fight album, Denis Handlin AO, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand, and Founding Board Director of Sony Foundation Australia, commented:
“On behalf of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and Sony Foundation Australia, our thoughts are with everyone affected by the unprecedented bushfire conditions this summer, especially those who have lost so much.
