Guy has just finished a two gig for his own tour and opener for Billy Joel and Ice House at the Stonefest.
Love this particular review..

Since his days with the fro, Guy Sebastian has carefully and cleverly adapted himself into a talent who can get away with producing the sort of music that he wants to, while throwing in the odd commercial rap-infused track to ensure he remains relevant in all markets. The music that he's embraced is that of soul music, and with a fantastic band behind him, a myriad of positive songs and an impressive stage presence, he definitely won me over with a contagiously energetic set. Highlights of the set included his duet with former X Factor contestant Angel Tupai for the track "Armageddon", which also saw both singers get onto the drums, showing that Guy truly knows how to work a crowd. I also thoroughly enjoyed Sebastian playing the role of Lupe Fiasco in their track "Battle Scars". The set closed with the popular "Like It Like That", with a brief Macklemore interlude thrown in for good measure, showing that even when he's up there putting on a soul inspired production, his finger remains on the pulse of what sells records these days; an impressive combination. I'm proudly a convert to Guy's live shows. Well done sir.

BattleScars #nice Yo GuySebastian look what came in the mail... pic.twitter.com/EUCfBe4G0P
plus Battle Scars and the guys just won Hip Hop RnB International Song Competition
In fact, nice to see that Matt Corby got 2nd in the AAA class, and Wes Carr also got a 2nd in Folk. We aussies rock
Battle Scars currently at #1 in Vietnam and placing nicely on about 8 countries iTunes or more.
And for Guy's 'day off' on Monday, he played golf in the morning, indoor cricket at night and fitted in a run with his brother Jeremy, who has his first pro fight coming up - life is never dull.

quick drop by. Looks like Guy was a mentor for New Zealand XFactor. Heaven KNOWS when he fitted this into his ultra busy schedule, but there y'go! Looking forward to seeing this. Could be a guy called Whenua could be worth looking into, perhaps?
Meanwhile, Rob Mills (@robmillsymills on twitter), who has been very regularly employed in the business since his launch in 2003 alongside Guy in the inaugural Australian Idol, has been recently interviewed, and had this to say abouit Guy
Nice comments about Guy from Millsie in a recent interview.
What’s your view on the slew of Australian talent shows now airing? Having come out of the inaugural Australian Idol, do you think the shows still have the same life-changing affect on their winners?
I think if you’re good enough and you’ve got a brand and you’ve got a good song or you’re just a phenomenal performer, you’ll stand out and your career will take over. I think that’s what it did for a lot of us in the first year. Guy [Sebastian] for me, is just the most phenomenally talented musician we have in this country, sings, writes, plays, produces, can’t dance (laughs) that makes me a little bit happy. With Shannon, Paulini and even some of the ones since then have gone on to have pretty careers, and even the ones that haven’t, if you’re good enough and you want it bad enough, it will happen. It’s like with every industry I think.
Millsy was a huge fan of Guy's from the word go, and when he was knocked out of the competition said that Guy would win it, in 2003. Millsy has performed on stage in many productions, done the TV hosting bit, besides regular gigs. The link to the whole interview is here

Guy's sold out tour continues to move forward, with the country areas and fans over the moon that such a big production is in their area. Both he and Jules are posting some rather beautiful family photos as they find the opportunity, as Guy in particular is an avid camera buff.
