Description
Anthony Callea is just 22 years of age, but he is already a national phenomenon. Midway through last year the unknown
Melbournian, entered a competition that would change his life forever. That competition was Australian Idol.
History may recall that it was Casey Donovan who became the Australian Idol, but it is Anthony Callea who will be
remembered for providing the show’s defining moment: a performance of The Prayer so jaw dropping and accomplished, so
emotionally loaded, that it produced a standing ovation from both the judges and the audience. From that moment, Anthony
Callea was on his way.
His debut single, that extraordinary song The Prayer”, not only held the No. 1 position in lockdown for five consecutive
weeks, it has set the record books reeling: Anthony Callea’s “The Prayer” is officially the fastest selling Australian single of
all time, it is also the highest selling Australian single ever!
Anthony Callea’s debut album, simply titled ANTHONY CALLEA, is stunning testament to his promise and his undeniable
talent. Recorded over two months, ANTHONY CALLEA comprises 12 contemporary pop songs that explore the textured
dynamics of his tenor’s range. It is an album remarkable for both the diversity and the consistency of its material. Anthony
personally sifted through more than 40 tracks before settling on the 12 you have in front of you, so you can be assured this is
contemporary pop at it’s finest. It also includes his new double A SIDE single tracks RAIN & BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED
WATER.
