He may have sold a staggering half a million records already, but Guy Sebastian is back with a third album, feeling much more confident, self assured and completely at ease with his place in the world and his sound.

Indeed Guy's third album Closer To The Sun is the record he was born to make.

"I know exactly what I want to hear now", Guy says. "You know, I didn't exactlty enter the industry in a normal fashion. it kind of happened so quick..."

Guy Sebastian, you may recall, was the inaugural winner of the high rating and hugely popular television series, Australian Idol

His dominance of the song translated instantly to the charts with record breaking sales of for his debut album Just As I Am.

The success carried effortleddly into a second album, Beautiful Life, where Guy took more contol of his craft, with self-penned hits, Out With My Baby & Oh-OH seducing radio stations and fans across the nation.

A sell-out live tour shoed the country he was more than just an as-seen-on-TV star with big hair, he was a genuine musician who oozed talent. So it was uncanny that before starting his third album, Guy had a crisis of confidence.
