Colliding with One Republic

Barry-Conrad-Ryan-Tedder 1

This guy.  The beast that is Ryan Tedder.

I’ve said in numerous interviews I’d love to work with him, and recently I actually got to.  Cool when that stuff happens.

Such an honour and a blast singing for the One Republic boys.  Killer ace players and solid cats.  Inspired.

Great chatting with Dubbo Weekender ahead of my appearance in Coonabarabran tomorrow for R U OK?.

I know firsthand what it’s like to be bullied, go through some serious lows and battle suicidal thoughts.

Hairspray takes off in Brisbane

Barry-Conrad-Hairspray-Arena-Spectacular-Poster

The largest production of Hairspray ever staged on the planet officially opened in Brisbane last month!  And man, what a phenomenal time it was.

I feel incredibly blessed to be part of something so much bigger than myself.  A story that places value on and uplifts people, no matter who you are or where you’re from.

Big love to the whole team!  So grateful to be doing what I love and living my dream.  Here are a few snaps from our Brisbane season.

Sydney Hills Living

Barry-Conrad-Sydney-Hills-Living-1

Was a pleasure sitting down with Sydney Hills Living.

No questions were out of bounds.  I remember the journalist, Di Bartok, being surprised by that, saying quite a few folks would have their people send through a note saying, “You can’t ask about this…”.  I think interviews are best when they’re just natural and genuine, like a real conversation.

If you live out Sydney ways, pick up this month’s copy.  I apologize in advance for any rambling :p.

The Morning Show

When I got word I’d be debuting my single live on The Morning Show, I knew I wanted to bring something different.

Such a special moment performing this, joined by some great friends, Coco Collective, who really helped bring it to life.  Great seeing Larry, Kylie and crew again too, cheers for having me!

The Manila Times

Barry-Conrad-The-Manila-Times

Being in The Manila Times is definitely a “what the..?!” moment.

Other than Anywhere We Go and Violet, I got pretty unfiltered.  Shared about once being too scared to do anything and how I deal with rejection.  Give it a read if you want by clicking the pic above.
