Guy Sebastian is the only Australian male artist to have ever achieved six number one singles and two number one albums in chart history.
Current work
More recently, he has wowed festival goers at Splendour in the Grass alongside Australian producer Paces, and on December 2 of 2016 released his highly anticipated Part 1 EP, the culmination of a dedicated year-long songwriting process. With Candle and Set in Stone already performing strongly, the EP showcases Sebastian's exceptional vocal ability and sees him take an exciting new creative direction towards a more electronic, subtle and lyric focused sound. The year also saw Guy once again appear as part of the judging team on X Factor.
Aside from his music, Guy enjoys a reputation as a person of the highest moral values and integrity. He is an official ambassador for The Red Cross and World Vision, and also supports the Royal Children's Hospital, Sydney and The Royal Melbourne hospital. In late 2013, Guy and his wife Jules established The Sebastian Foundation and the collaborative nature of the organisation will see both Guy and the Foundation work in conjunction with a range of different benevolent organisations both nationally and on a global scale in order to create a lasting change in the lives of the less fortunate.
