Conrad Sewell Facts
- His grandparents were from the music industry and went on tour with popular bands like the Bee Gees and the Gibb Brothers.
- He is friends with Ed Sheeran, James Blunt, and Kylie Minogue.
- Before bagging a record deal, Conrad found it difficult to make ends meet when he shifted to LA. He used to sleep on his friend’s couches and write songs.
- He shifted his base to Los Angeles at 18, since he found it difficult to penetrate the Australian music industry.
- He started a band with his former classmates in 2007 called Sons of Midnight. They even got signed by Universal Germany.
- He has a habit of s*cking his thumb.
- He has a phobia of backseat driving and feels he’ll meet with an accident every single time.
- His sister Grace and himself were in the top 5 on the ARIA singles’ chart. It was the first time that the two siblings had their songs together even after different record labels released them.
- He is fond of watching romantic movies.
- On May 17, 2019, he released his debut studio album, Life, which included songs like Healing Hands, Testify, Light in the Dark, Belong, How to Love a Ghost, Neighbourhood, Changing, and Turn of the Knife. It peaked at number #1 on the Australian Albums (ARIA) weekly chart.
- Describing Life, he said, “This album pretty much sums up my life to date. A lot of the album was inspired by my battles with addiction, regrets I have as a result of those battles, and the people I’ve hurt along the way. These were hard truths that I’ve had to come to terms with.” He added “Although the underlying message in most of the songs is one of redemption and hope that people can change… I suppose that’s what the journey of life is all about. I wanted to make a classic timeless album with songs that will hopefully be played 50 years from now. No bells and whistles, just my truth and my voice singing with every ounce of pain and love that I have.”
