There are presently two singles released which are #1 ranked Like it Like That 2 x platinum and #8 ranked Art of Love (Feat. Jordin Sparks) Gold. Penning all tracks on this album, Sebastian's songwriting skills are as strong as his rich soulful voice which are influenced by the genres of soul, Rhythm and Blues and Pop. John Mayer plays on and provides backing vocals on three tracks with a guitar solo on the track Fail to Mention.
Early in 2007, Sebastian travelled to the home of blues, roots and soul - Memphis, Tennessee - to record his fourth album The Memphis Album. The record that took Sebastian back to his roots features legendary guitarist Steve Cropper (of Booker T & The MG’s). Cropper, who co-wrote Otis Redding's soul classic "Dock of The Bay" among other classic Stax/Volt hits played on and produced the album as well as traveling to Australia in 2008 to tour "The Memphis Album' and he brought the MG's with him. Of Guy’s soulful voice Cropper enthuses, “Guy is one of the best singers I’ve ever worked with. He's the voice that we've been looking for.” Two tracks off the album are I've Been Loving You Too long (an Otis Redding classic) and Take Me To The River (an Al Green classic),

Early Life and becoming inaugural Australian Idol Winner in 2003
Guy Sebastian was born in Klang, Malaysia to a Sri Lankan and Portugese father from Malaysia, and a mother of Portuguese and Irish/Scot descent who had been born and raised in India. He moved to Adelaide, South Australia as a child. Sebastian has never had any formal voice training but was influenced by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Prince, Brian McKnight, Otis Redding and Al Green.
After giving up University studies in medical radiation to concentrate on music, and while working as a recording engineer and a singing teacher, he decided to enter Australian Idol establishing a fanbase and winning praise from the judges, who also made reference to his afro hairstyle, which became a focal part of his image at that time. The Grande final of Australian Idol which was held in Sydney, Australia was the most popular program broadcast in Australia during 2003 and the second most popular non-sporting broadcast in Australian television history.
During the competition is became clear that Sebastian was as an accomplished musician (drums, keyboard, guitar and even a little violin), who created his own arrangements for his songs and that, together with his unique soulful voice and innate rhythm, drew many fans.

Guy Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And fit round my finger
The first time that I saw you smile
I realized why I'm alive
And that time we
First hear you say the word, daddy
And when your front teeth disappeared
When life throws you arrows and makes you feel small
My love for you child will conquer it all
No you don't have to worry
Won't let the big bag world get you
No you don't have to worry
Won't let the big bag world get you no way
They're be battles
And they may be too big to handle
But while they'll still strengthening these bolts
You'll never fight them alone
When your little heart breaks
Know that we feel each and every ache
Before you I never did know
Just how deep my love could go
All of the milestone and things that I've done
They can't compare to you my son
And so you don't have to worry
I won't let the big bag world get you
No you don't have to worry
I won't let the big bag world get you
Set sail and go
Don't be scared if the mighty will lose
Keep your eyes on the horizon 'cause I'll be there
Calling you, calling you home
No you don't have to worry
I won't let the big bag world get you
No you don't have to worry
I won't let the big bag world get you
From the time you're handed
And fit round my finger

From the time you're handed
Right from the moment you were born
And fit round my finger

Even when you lost your first teeth, you were still perfect to me

None of them can even come close to the love and pride I have for you
