Growing up in Brisbane, Sewell started pursuing a music career from a young age, sending around demos since he was 8 years old. Sewell is the brother of singer-songwriter Grace, who is best known for her 2015 cover of "You Don't Own Me".
In 2004, Sewell auditioned for season 2 of Australian Idol, but did not pass the audition stage. He later tried his luck with short-lived rock band Sons of Midnight.
He spent years recording songs in garages and working to save money to move to the UK where pop music was more accepted. At the age of 18, Sewell moved to the UK and maxed out a credit card to record a demo.
After moving to Los Angeles, he started working on his solo project. Several people have been a part of creating the new music including Jamie Hartman (Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone), Sam Hollander (Train, One Direction), and Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Gavin DeGraw). His debut single "Hold Me Up" was written/produced by Brian Lee (Lady Gaga, Icona Pop), The Euroz and Louis Bell.
Prior to his solo release, Sewell wrote and sung on Kygo's hit, "Firestone". The single was a top five hit in many countries around the world.
On March 2, 2015 Sewell announced his opening slot on Ed Sheeran's Australian tour via a video posted on his Facebook page. He joined Sheeran on 13 dates throughout Australia.
On June 12, 2015 Live Nation confirmed Sewell will be joining Maroon 5 on their September tour as well as posting several tour dates.

Conrad Sewell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the dark in need of light
When we touch you inspire
Feel the change in me tonight
So take me up, take me higher
There's a world not far from here
We can dance in desire
Or we can burn in love tonight
Firestone
And when they strike
We feel the love
Sparks will fly
They ignite our bones
And when they strike
We light up the world
Our hearts are like
Firestone
And when they strike
We feel the love
Sparks will fly
They ignite our bones
And when they strike
We light up the world
We light up the world
We light up the world
Oh-whoa
Firestone
I'm from X
You're from Y
Perfect strangers in the night
Oh here we are, come together
To the world we'll testify
Our hearts are like
Firestone
And when they strike
We feel the love
Sparks will fly
They ignite our bones
And when they strike
We light up the world
We light up the world
Whoa-oh
Firestone
Our hearts are like
Firestone
And when they strike
We feel the love
Sparks will fly
They ignite our bones
And when they strike
We light up the world
Oh whoa
Oh whoa
Oh whoa

The lyrics to “Firestone” by Conrad Sewell suggest the theme of passion and the spark between two people in love. The song uses fiery metaphors to describe the passionate love between the two individuals. The first verse establishes the dichotomy between the two individuals - “I'm a flame you're the fire, I'm the dark in need of light”- highlighting that they may be different but they complement and inspire each other.
The chorus compares their love to a Firestone, which represents their hearts, as it is symbolic of a spark. “Our hearts are like Firestone and when they strike we feel the love, sparks will fly they ignite our bones and when the strike we light up the world” suggests that their love has the power to influence not just themselves but the world around them. The use of the phrase "ignite our bones" suggests a fiery and intense passion that fuels their love.
The second verse reinforces the idea that the two individuals are perfect strangers - “I'm from X you're from Y, perfect strangers in the night” - and yet they come together like the two pieces of a puzzle. The song uses the idea of flames and sparks to describe the electrifying chemistry between the two individuals, igniting a passion that consumes them and illuminating the world around them.

The music and film industries are under the rule of lucifer, who is the master of masonry club.
Think about it, all their HITS are about lust and fornication and being stressed and depressed, wanting to be done by “life”.
None of them has meaning in their music.
Souls are either in the lusting and fornication sin, or depressed that they cannot live like this.
= we praising sins and living in these.
Time is clear to REPENT – BORN AGAIN – come out from BABYLON:
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Or we can burn in love tonight
Our hearts alight
Firestone
And when they strike

But when they strike
We light up the world
We light up the world
We light up the world
Oh whoa Whoa

I'm from X
You're from Y
Perfect strangers in the night
Here we are, come together
To the world we'll testify

And when they strike
We feel the love
Sparks will fly
They ignite our bones
But when they strike
We light up the world
We light up the world
Oh whoa
