Australian singer-songwriter Guy Sebastian delivered a stunning one-hour set in his first performance in Singapore and for MTV Sessions last night at Resorts World Sentosa’s state-of-the-art Waterfront Studio which saw over 250 fans packing the venue.
Sebastian offered up hit after hit, from latest single “Like a Drum” from his soon-to-be released album to familiar songs like “Battle Scars,” “Who’s That Girl,” “Get Along,” “Like It Like That,” and “Don’t Worry Be Happy”.
Sebastian engaged the attentive audience with anecdotes about his songs and joked with them throughout the intimate live recording session. Backed by a five-piece band, the seasoned singer held everyone in thrall with a setlist that showed off his signature vocals, proof of his continued success as one of Australia’s bestselling artists.
The evening ended on a high note when he performed a bonus duet for the audience with back-up singer Carmen Smith for “Art of Love”.
