To say that this past weekend has been special is an understatement.

What an incredible moment performing with my Jireh family again – more than a decade later – at Parachute Festival.  We reunited in tribute of Audrey Phillips, who we lost last year.

Man…  In so many ways, this past week has just set my 2014 up so beautifully.  Here are a just a few of the many memories made…

Flew back into Australia to perform at the JMA Showcase 2013, along with my The X-Factor fam Jai Waetford and Omar Dean, as well as Sarah Ellen, Angel Tupai and Angel Tairua.

If you’re an aspiring singer, dancer, artist or performer wanting to sharpen your craft, JMA Entertainment is the place to go.

Always good to see the bro, Eman (Justice Crew).

With the hosts of the night, Latifa & Christian. Did an ace job!

So grateful to perform for almost 200,000 people at Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park with Stan Walker, Vince Harder and Jakiel Mariner (from Fourtunate).

These guys aren’t just amazing artists, but also good friends, which made it even more of an awesome time.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, NZ!

Our sis, Ginny Blackmore, came by to hang.

It’s X-Factor Australia meets X-Factor NZ! Good meeting Benny Tipene, talented & a cool cat.

VIDEO: So much fun…

Wow what an honour to spend the day in the studio with the legendary Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

He’s worked with people like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears – no biggie.  A musical genius & such a cool guy.

With the man, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

Tuesday morning last week, I got to belt out my favorite Christmas carol on The Morning Show’s week-long carol series, X-Mas Factor.

In case you missed it, check out the full performance and interview below.

Quick Line-check with these guys during the commercial break before going LIVE at The Morning Show today!

Thanks Tom & Kylie for the warm welcome at The Morning Show. Always a pleasure seeing you both!

Well and truly carols season, I couldn’t be more stoked to join Hope 103.2 FM’s Carols Hope LIVE.

Got to sing some of my favorites, including The First Noel, The Christmas Song and my Christmas single, O Holy Night.  My friends Prinnie Stevens and Brittany Cairns were on deck too, making it our first show together.  Last but not least, I had the most amazing time meeting the fans – my highlight of the night by far!

Huge thanks again to the Hope 103.2 FM team for having me, I loved it.

At Christmas Hope LIVE, about to hit the stage!

So blessed to do what I love.

Had the pleasure of not only performing but also emceeing the Annual Lighting of the Tree Ceremony at Rouse Hill Town Centre.

It was officially my first ever emcee gig and gotta admit: I was kinda nervous going into it.  But man it was so much fun, and I actually had nothing to worry about!

Huge thanks to the RHTC team for having me and to everyone who came along on the night.

Banana hanging with B1 & B2. Think I can be B3 :p?

Keeping it gangsta with the Jingle Bellies.

Had an awesome time hosting & performing at the Annual Lighting of the Tree at Rouse Hill Town Centre tonight. Great turnout!

Had the most amazing time on The X-Factor LIVE Tour.

So grateful to have been part of it and it will definitely go down as one of my year’s biggest highlights!

This past weekend, I attended my first ever ARIA Awards!

So grateful to finally have gotten along this year and be amongst so many amazingly talented artists.  What a night!

Special thanks to Gibson Clothing for gifting me the fresh grey suit I wore too –  felt a million bucks rockin’ it.
