About this episode

Guy Sebastian is one of our most loved and enduring artists. Since bursting onto our screens as the first winner of Australian Idol, he’s carved out a career defined not just by chart-topping hits, but by his soulful voice, authenticity, and generous heart. Beyond the spotlight, Guy is a devoted husband to Jules Sebastian and a proud dad, driven by a genuine desire to connect, uplift, and give back.

In this episode Guy opens up about navigating the highs and lows of fame, and the quiet power of staying grounded. He speaks candidly about love, fatherhood, friendship, and his evolving relationship with faith, and why, for him, music is ultimately an act of service. Whether reflecting on his marriage or the inspiration behind his latest album, Guy’s warmth and wisdom shine through in this conversation about purpose, self-belief, and staying true to yourself no matter the noise around you.
