Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian is Australia's first Eurovision contestant
Guy Sebastian has been selected to be Australia's first representative at the Eurovision Song Contest.
For those of you who haven't heard of Guy or haven't spent some time downunda, let's just say he is Australia’s equivalent of … Ronan Keating.
The singer-songwriter rose to fame by winning Australian Idol in 2003, and later served as a judge on Australia's X Factor.
He has also topped the Australian singles chart over the years, with tracks like ‘Like a Drum’, 'All I Need Is You' and 'Like It Like That'.
Australian broadcaster SBS confirmed today that Sebastian will perform on behalf of the country in Vienna this May.
The title of the track that Sebastian will perform is scheduled to be announced in the coming weeks.
