Conrad Sewell (2016)

Conrad Ignatius Mario Maximilian Sewell (born March 31, 1988 in Brisbane ) is a British - Australian pop singer . Sewell was best known in Europe for his singing in Kygo's single Firestone and the Coca-Cola advertising song Taste The Feeling , produced by the Swedish DJ Avicii . Sewell is no longer a stranger to his native Australia. His second single "Start Again" landed at the top of the charts there. For this song he received the Aria Music Award in the Song of the Year category in November 2015 , and he was nominated for an award in two other categories (Breakthrough Artist, Best Pop Release).

Life and Beginnings

Sewell's father is British. Therefore, he grew up alternately in Brisbane and in Bristol, UK, until he was ten . Since his grandparents were already musicians, he came to music very early and sent his first demo tapes at the age of eight. Sewell's sister Grace is also a popular pop singer in Australia.

In 2004 Sewell failed in the preliminary round at Australia Idol.

In 2007 he founded an acoustic duo with his friend Matt Copley, which later became the rock band Sons of Midnight .

Career

In 2014 he wrote Kygo's hit Firestone . The song landed in the top 5 in several countries. His debut single Hold Me Up was written and produced by Brian Lee, The Euroz and Louis Bell.

In 2015 he was on tour with Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5 as a support act. In November of that year, he announced an EP called All I Know , which was released on November 13, 2015.
