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 ↴
But I've been thinking 'bout it lately
Reminiscing about us in Vegas
Drinking like we're famous
Man, those days were crazy
But your book ran out of pages
And now I wish I never waited
To tell you out of all the moments in my life
Were probably my favourite
I know you're looking down on us
I'm missing you bro
I hope you're proud of us
At least I know you made it home
And I know you're not alone
'Cause now you're singing with a choir
Now you're dancing with a crew
You ain't doing this solo
We all ridin' with you
No one can put out your fire
Nobody filling your shoes
'Cause now you're singing with a choir
We all ridin' with you
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, we fill up all our days with
Workin' and grindin' just to make ends meet
Too busy to call, we'll catch up next week
And then it gets to next week
And we say maybe next week
And then before you know, we all feeling old
Asking ourselves
"Where did my friends go?"
So don't wait till they go home
'Cause now you're singing with a choir
Now you're dancing with a crew
You ain't doing this solo
We all ridin' with you
No one can put out your fire
Nobody filling your shoes
'Cause now you're singing with a choir
We all ridin' with you
Yeah, yeah
Someday, I know, my friend
I'm gonna see you again
And when I do, you better have a part for me
You sing the melody and I'll take the harmony
'Cause we ain't done making music yet
We got some more sound checks
And this time we gonna have about a million voices
Singing, dancing
Party in your mansion
'Cause now you're singing with a choir
Now you're dancing with a crew (Dancing with a crew)

The lyrics of Guy Sebastian and Alan Walker's song "Choir" depict a heartfelt tribute to a departed friend who had made a significant impact in the singer's life.
