It’s been a long wait, but I’m glad to finally announce the winner of the Don’t You Think? Sing-Off! competition.

All the entries were super creative & unique in their own way, I need to give a huge thanks to everyone who entered!  They came from all over: USA, Holland, Switzerland, Australia, South Africa & Philippines, to name a few.

One entry in particular though, didn’t just have the most hits & ‘Likes’ (a huge deciding factor), but also a great blend of humor & artistic direction that made it a favorite among many.

Congratulations … Nicky Liberty!

Honorable mentions:

Best Vocal Performance – Anneliese Meywes

Best Remix – Ringo

In just over a month of it being out, here are versions of Don’t You Think? that have been sent to me from all over (USA, Holland, South Africa, Australia, Switzerland… bananas!).  Blown away completely.

The creativity shown, and just the fact that people have taken time out of their day to do this, is really humbling.  So good man…  Check some of them out:

Barry Southgate is a new Australian singer/songwriter and his single, Don’t You Think?, has just been released on iTunes everywhere this past week. His EP, Epitome, will be released 1st quarter of 2011, with LA photographer, Steven Taylor (John Mayer, Bruno Mars, Jordin Sparks, NeYo) doing the cover shoot next month.

Here is his single:

South African native Barry Southgate (now based in Australia) first came to public attention as a top 24 contestant on Australia Idol a few years back, and has since gone on to work with some of the country’s most popular talent, including Guy Sebastian and Delta Goodrem.  He’s now focusing on his own career, recently self-releasing his first official single “Don’t You Think” and working on an EP for release in early 2011.

“Don’t You Think” has definite Bruno Mars vibes, but with a bit of a breezy island feel thrown in.  It’s a solid little pop number for an unsigned artist, and a nice indication of things to come from his EP.

Check it out below, and head on over to Barry’s official website to find out more about him.

Recently got snapped by paparazzi while out hanging with my friend, Stan Walker, in Sydney.

Turns out some of those shots made their way into the latest issue of NZ Woman’s Day: Royal Engagement Souvenir Special Edition.  Hilarious (haha…).

Could have sworn we were barely cab-hailing for more than just a few minutes..?  The paps are sneaky!

Thanks Janet Shaw for the pic.

Here we have an up-and-comer from all the way down under. This would be Australian singer and songwriter, Barry Southgate, who just released his debut single, Don’t You Think? The single is lifted from Southgate’s upcoming EP entitled Epitome, slated for release in the first quarter of 2011. LA photographer, Steven Taylor (John Mayer, Bruno Mars, Jordin Sparks, Ne-Yo, etc…) will shoot the cover for the project next month.

Don’t You Think? is that simplistic organic sound made very popular by Jason Mraz. It’s not a carbon copy as Southgate’s has a unique style to him. Although the song is very cool and catchy, we want to hear more before we can have a solid opinion on him. But in the meantime, check out his official site HERE and purchase Don’t You Think? on iTunes.
