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.

Used To You
Guy Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These eyes still get fixated
These years still get elective
Whenever you say a word
This heart still skips a beat
This chest forgets to breathe
These legs shake at the knees
'Cause I just can't get used to you
I just can't get used to you
Every time that we touch it feels brand new
I just can't get used to you
It may seem like I'm fearless
But around you I still get nervous
These limbs they still get the quivers
Every time we kiss
'Cause I just can't get used to you
No I just can't get used to you
Every time that we touch it feels brand new
I just can't get used to you
Yeah believe me
'Cause I mean it sincerely
It's still like the honey moon,like the honey moon
I can't cry when we're out in the crowd
'Cause I get to say that I'm with you
I'll never get used to you
No I'll never get used to you
Every time we make love
It feels brand new
I'll never get used to you
