Deemed as Australia's most successful rock & roll singer, Jimmy Barnes has certainly got some stories to tell.
Australia's dance troupe Justice Crew is proof that dreams can happen. From humble beginnings in Sydney's western suburbs, the nine-member outfit became one of 2010's hottest talking points when they won "Australia's Got Talent". With the series win, they collected the $250,000 victor's prize cheque and a contract with Sony Music.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. “Winning the competition was like a dream come true,” explains Emmanuel “EMan” Rodriguez, the unofficial frontman of Justice Crew. “It was like a book which starts from where we came from, how Justice came together, how we entered the competition, and then winning the series. It was unreal that we made it so far. It just shows that if you work really hard, you’ll get there.” Taking out the competition is by no means the end of this story. The dancers split their windfall and have invested for the future – theirs and for other aspiring dancers.

All of Australia knows her simply as Marcia, the diva with the most wonderful and distinctive voice that local pop music has ever heard.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. Let’s face it, Marcia Hines being Marcia Hines is what’s endeared her to the Australian public for so long, starting back in 1970 when she arrived as a wide-eyed 16-year-old to take part in the rock musical “Hair”. In her hometown of Boston, Marcia began singing as a young child and by the age of nine had made her first public appearance in a church choir.
Pete Murray is just out of the surf, looking the way he always does: fit, lean, up for whatever the day has in store. He exudes energy, all of it positive. Like his new music.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. Years ago he took a complete break from his career as one of Australia’s favourite music artists, refusing every work offer that came his way, devoting his time to fathering his two sons and, free from the rock’n’roll lifestyle of late nights and early flights, hitting the surf near his northern New South Wales home. “I needed time to let the well fill up again. I had worked hard and wanted to sit and enjoy life for a while. I’ve loved having the time to do more surfing, waking up early, in the water by seven. It clears your mind when you are out among the waves and you feel so much better when you come in, ready for the day ahead.”
Sharon Corr is a Grammy Nominee, Brit Award Winner, singer-songwriter and violinist. In many ways a huge driving force of The Corrs, Sharon kept her profile low... a svelte, soignée mystery.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. Now married and with two children, Sharon, not able to stay away from her passion, was already writing and recording her first solo album Dream of You. Her first single “It’s Not a Dream”, released in 2010, was A-listed on BBC Radio 2. Sharon took her courage in both hands and toured the album alone from 2011 to 2013, playing Europe, Australia, Asia and both North and South America.

Ciaran Gribbin is the singer of INXS. He is a Grammy nominated songwriter who has worked with artists such as Snow Patrol, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold and Paul McCartney and has also written and produced soundtracks for movies.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. In 2009 Northern Ireland music artist Ciaran made the decision to split from his band and take the path of a solo artist to give himself the freedom to write, record and perform his own songs in whichever format he chose, solo or with a band. He soon found himself working on shows and tours with many artists including Paul McCartney, The Script, Gotye, Powderfinger and James Morrison amongst others whilst co-writing with various artists including Paul Oakenfold, Groove Armada and William Orbit.
Belgium-born Gotye has been adopted by Australia and is the latest big thing to hit our shores. This multi-instrumental artist is an ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter. Gotye got his start in pop band The Basics who have independently released studio albums and other titles since their beginning in 2002.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. A few years ago I made some music in my bedroom using mattresses and a 386. I called it an “album” (which was the style at the time), put a picture named Boardface on the front, and it went quite well. Some people even bought it on Compact Disc. I bought a new jumper (with a bear on the front) with the proceeds and everything was quite good.
Katie Noonan has the kind of voice grown men weep for, the kind of voice that seems to come directly from her heart rather than her lungs.
Areas of speciality include Recording Artists. She has topped both the pop and jazz charts, blown away opera fanatics, performed alongside countless luminaries of myriad fields, and backs it all up by being an incredible songwriter, producer and keyboardist in her own right.
