An honest and candid memoir from one of Australia’s most phenomenal voices. Go behind the scenes on this relatable story of self-discovery through determination and humility. These candid, courageous, and often amusing anecdotes take us beyond the slick facade of showbiz, to the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that it takes to become one of Australia’s most enduring and beloved entertainers. A warts-and-all story of grit, determination, integrity, and joy.

Anthony shares the joys and challenges of becoming celebrated for his voice, all while navigating the twists and turns of life. It’s a story of a kid from the working-class western suburbs of Melbourne with a big dream and an even bigger voice, who had to finish growing up in the spotlight. Anthony’s 20-year career has spanned stage, arena, and screen, and he now invites you backstage to share his journey.

One day you are working at a suburban shopping centre as a Freddo Frog mascot, the next you are topping charts, winning awards and sharing stages with Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
