@guysebastian : If I’m being honest, when I was a kid growing up in the outer suburbs of Adelaide, my dreams were somewhat small. I thought that the path for my life would be to finish my medical radiation degree and maybe quench my musical thirst by doing some gigs on the side, or, to continue singing in church. I’m sure I still would have been happy, but little did I know, the plans for my life were quite different. Our family migrated to Australia in 1988 -the bicentenary year. I was six years old at the time. My father, Ivan, is a geologist and a man of honour, faith and loyalty. My superhero mother, Nellie, held our family together by raising four boys when Dad had to go off to the oil rigs to work. Growing up, we were surrounded by love and for that I am so grateful. My parents sacrificed a lot to give us the best education they possibly could. Today I was told that I am going to be made a member of the Order of Australia. My first thought was, “I can’t wait to tell Mum and Dad.” My brothers and I long to make them proud and I knew that this news would give them such a feeling of elation. I was then overcome with a flurry of emotion, mostly gratitude. I have this career and life because of so many people who believe in me. I know that with that belief comes great responsibility and I have tried my best to use my position to bring light to other people’s lives. I’ve struggled through my own imperfections and kept my eyes on the thing that matters most - Love. Throughout my career I’ve been lucky enough to receive some awards, meet and work with my idols and tick off some bucket list moments. This recognition however, is one that I am most proud of because it is not only for my contribution to the music industry but for the work we have done through our Foundation, The Sebastian Foundation. I am so humbled to be able to help people in need through this vessel and I pray that many lives will be changed from the work that we do in the future. Thank you to everyone for you
