ANTHONY Callea is undoubtedly one of Australia’s finest vocalists and performers.
The Aria Award winner has forged a highly successful music career and undeniably has one of this country’s most powerful, passionate and pure voices.
This year kicked off with a bang for Anthony this year, opening for the diva herself Maria Carey’s New Year’s day concert and it hasn’t let up since.
He has also performed encore sell out shows alongside Tina Arena and her orchestra, plus he has signed a record deal with ABC/Universal Music. Celebrating his 30th birthday in December last year, Anthony re-discovers songs that have influenced him over the years, and in turn delivers his own musical stamp on these stunningly written tracks.
The album titled THIRTY includes both covers and original compositions penned by Anthony, and celebrates thirty years of the most beautifully written music.
Released on April 26, Anthony is excited about taking his album on this live tour.
Introduced to the country via Australian Idol in 2004, his debut single The Prayer became Australia’s fastest and highest selling single of all time with sales in excess of four times platinum and was at the top of the charts for an amazing five weeks.
Anthony has well and truly proven to be one of this country’s most successful recording artists.
