Australian singer Conrad Sewell's new album Life – his long-awaited first – is highly confessional. It is fitting then that he was photographed for our magazine at The Espy in St Kilda – a shrine to live music at its stripped-back, visceral best. This venue is where, through the decades, music has been at its most honest and Sewell, 31, is certainly that real deal. Anyone who has heard his powerful vocals live will know this album is the first of many. Sewell met with journalist Jane Rocca for this week’s cover feature. ●

RIA award-winning singer/songwriter Conrad Sewell has spent the past four years writing his debut album Life, struggling to find his voice among record company executives who all thought they knew better.

Now, the 31-year-old is ready to share his story, the inspiration behind hit singles, such as Healing Hands, and studio trial and errors which provoked his new awakening.

“It took me so long to get this album together, working with many producers and writers [and] being pulled in so many directions,” says Sewell, who grew up in Brisbane and now lives in LA. “The result is a really honest body of work; there’s no bells and whistles, nothing sonically lifechanging in its sound, but it’s what felt most authentic to me – to write something timeless and classic.” Sewell says the long and arduous process to make Life taught him some valuable lessons.

“At one point I had Timbaland producing the record and it sounded just like Justin Timberlake. It was like we were trying to recreate Justin and I pulled away from that and started again,” he says.

“It’s scary to stand up for yourself and speak up, but you have to do what makes you happy.”

The new album is full of Sewell’s personal highs, lows, moments of hope and despair.

There are piano ballads to tug the heartstrings, falsettos and high-pitched harmonies that would make Freddie Mercury take a peek from the heavens above and plenty of husked grit reminiscent of Joe Cocker himself.

Sewell grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Prince and Queen – he was always interested in the classics – and even cited the Bee Gees as part of his formative soundtrack, thanks to his grandparents who toured with the band in their heyday.

Long before launching a solo career, Sewell tried his luck with a rock band The Frets, later changing their name to Sons of Midnight. He left Australia for Europe straight after high school, signed to Universal and dreamed of becoming the next Kings of Leon.

“I took out a credit card out to fund the band’s demo,” he says. “My guitarist [Matthew Copley] and I went to Sweden to write pop songs and signed to Universal, but it was a constant battle. We had some success but it wasn’t quite up there.

“Then around five years ago I wrote Start Again, my first big single. Kylie Minogue even wanted to cut it. I was finally seeing a shift but it was a constant roller coaster.

“I was in LA trying to write, had no money and wondered what the hell was I actually doing. You have to have a certain amount of confidence in your ability and I was losing that feeling.

“It was hard staying mentally above water,” he adds, even after co-writing the single Taste the Feeling with the late Avicii in 2016.

But every time Sewell thought the doors were closing, another would open. When Jay Brown and Jay Z, founders of Roc Nation (responsible for signing Kanye West), told Sewell they had never heard a voice like his, he felt destined to sing.

“It’s just what I needed to hear,” Sewell says.

“That’s when I thought I am doing what I should be doing, but seriously moments before that I was ready to get on a plane and go back home.”

Sewell signed to Sony Music Australia last year and the rest is ballad history in the making.

Melbourne’s home of music, The Esplanade in St Kilda, he’s on a whirlwind trip back home. Sewell says he is happy to spend time by the sea and practise meditation.

“As I get older I am trying to live in the moment and take time to look outwards. I spent so much of my life searching for something and constantly not thinking about anything but my career,” he says.

“I feel guilty if I go home to the beach, but it’s crazy to think like that. I knew singers like Avicii who got worked into the ground. You see in the documentary about him, how much an artist needs that space to live a normal life as much as the next person because it can get the better of you.

“I don’t want to get to that point. It’s sad because it’s a fine line.”

Sewell returned from a meditation retreat in San Francisco a few months ago and is willing to find

“It’s scary to stand up for yourself and speak up, but you have to do what makes you happy.”

CONRAD SEWELL

Songs such as Healing Hands reference the impact of human compassion and his own battles with drugs and alcohol.

“The message behind that song is people change, but if you stick by them it can make them stronger.

There’s a positive message even in the darkness I was going through,” he says. Then there’s the title track – in its Joe Cocker throttle – which is about not over-thinking it.

He thanks his supportive parents for encouraging him to pursue his dream and a younger sister Grace (who will head on tour with him) for standing by him in times of need. When he takes the call for this interview, after a Domain Review shoot at

new ways to disconnect from his workaholic ways.

“I am the kind of person who knocks down my successes, which is why I push myself so hard,” he says. “I hate that about myself and wish I didn’t do it, but that’s what keeps me wanting more.

“It’s what makes an artist work even harder and life is about all those trials and tribulations, and what makes me human.” ● CONRAD SEWELL \ Tickets on sale for his all-ages show at the Forum Melbourne on June 7.

ast year, Nick Offerman and his wife, actress/musician Megan Mullally (best known as Karen in Will & Grace Grace), wrote a New York Times best-selling novel The Greatest Love Story Ever Told. It humorously plotted the story of how they met in 2000, why age difference doesn’t matter [she’s 11 years older] and how their 16-year marriage is still going strong.

Now, the couple returns to Australia to perform their own shows – Offerman on stage with a political

show All Rise and Mullally touring with her band Nancy & Beth. The super-busy couple refuses to stay apart for more than a few weeks.

Recognised for his role as Ron Swanson on NBC’s sitcom Parks and Recreation and 2014 TV series Fargo, Offerman gets political and talks about how humanity got it wrong [and right] while poking fun at the US government along the way.

“In a nutshell, All Rise is a way to step back from the divisive rancour that is ruling the English-speaking

myself in this form of humorist iteration, but now, I am crazy about it. It’s addictive. To make an audience roar with laughter is one of the most gratifying feelings I have had outside of the bedroom,” he smiles. “In my mid-30s I was working steadily as an actor, was Mr Megan Mullally – a wonderful gig I still hold – and had my wood shop in LA. I was happy and content.

“I thought my life had exceeded my wildest dreams and then I got cast on Parks and Recreation when I was 38. I have gotten wonderful and varied acting jobs because people knew me from other things but it put me in a new spotlight.

“Through our sheep-like adherence to capitalism and consumerism we got ourselves in this mess together; the purpose of All Rise is to discern a way to be better than we have been.”

Offerman got his start in theatre in Chicago and still lives for the stage.

“Nothing beats the medicine of a live audience, communicating to you that you have succeeded in making them laugh, cry or shout or shit themselves,” he says.

But his new career move as a humorist caught him by surprise.

ow in its 11th season, MasterChef Australia has proven a fruitful formula for contestants who want to become much more than TV stars who slice, dice and smile for the cameras.

Khanh Ong, who finished third in last year’s MasterChef on Network 10, is proof that you don’t need to win the series to be successful.

In less than a year since leaving the show, the Melbourne-based chef has scored a spot on a new TV cooking show, signed a book deal and is now a business partner at The George on Collins, an established business housed within the iconic Collins Street building.

It’s certainly not a bad effort for a 25-year-old former DJ who also dabbled in work as a fashion stylist and spun vinyl at VIP parties attended by celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.

“MasterChef was great for me, I would not have “MasterChef had the chance to do what I am without it,” says Ong, who was born in an Indonesian refugee camp to Vietnamese parents and grew up in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne.

“I would have stuck with my vlogging and writing a food blog and hoped it would lead me somewhere, but MasterChef opened doors a lot quicker and if you’re a determined contestant you can get things happening much faster.”

The Asian-inspired menu at The George on Collins captures the flavours of his Vietnamese upbringing and reinterprets some dishes he ate as a child. He worked alongside head chef Quim Hernandez to curate the menu. “The flavours in all the dishes are very Vietnamese; with some modern takes on classic recipes,” Ong says.

Vietnam to explore my family’s culture and cuisine.”

“Some are peasant home dishes that you wouldn’t necessarily find in any restaurant.”

Ong says a popular dish, and one that has many diners curious, is the caramel rockling with crispy pork belly. “People don’t necessarily see the connection between the rockling and pork, but I grew up eating it and it’s delicious,” he says.

“Combining a river fish with pork in a sauce that is peppery and sweet is a definite highlight. I was accustomed to the flavours growing up and now I get to show others.”

Ong, who also auditioned for Channel Nine’s The Block, was keen to shift gears from DJ work to a role where he could channel his passion for food.

“I never thought I would start a restaurant this early in my career but when Greg Kahan [owner of the original venue The Long Room] approached me

to join forces I couldn’t resist,” he says.

In another career coup, Ong will also co-host Network 10’s afternoon cooking show My Market Kitchen, alongside 2016 MasterChef Australia winner Elena Duggan.

“I am doing exactly what I want to be doing,” he says. “Who knows what the future holds. I’d love to do travel cooking shows and return to Vietnam to explore my family’s culture and cuisine.

“Life’s pretty damn good right now and I am going with the good energy and nurturing all opportunities.” ● ● thegeorgeoncollins.com.au MY MARKET KITCHEN \ Network 10, Monday to Friday, 3.30pm.

SAM WOOD \ FITNESS

A healthy knock at the door

I

love cooking, but I’m not going to lie – since my little daughter, Willow, was born nearly two years ago, Uber Eats and Deliveroo have become our friends. According to the following stats, we’re not alone. A recent study by finder.com.au found that there are 68 million online food orders each year and more than 7000 orders placed every hour.

That works out to be about $2.6 billion each year that Australians are spending on meal delivery.

With this in mind, I thought it might be good to give some tips on the good, the bad and the unhealthy of at-home food delivery.

BURGERS \ Sam approved: Grass-fed beef or

organic meat patties/veggie patties, salad and healthy fillings. Skip it: Greasy bacon, brioche buns, heavy sauces/aiolis, too many chips and soft drink.

To really step it up health-wise, opt for a lettuce

bun, mushroom bun or bun-free. If that’s not for you, try to get burgers with a traditional bun. Go easy on the sauce and limit the chips.

PIZZA \ Sam approved: Wood-fired pizza. Skip

it: Processed bases, toppings with the lot, excessive amounts of processed meats, cheese-heavy sauces and garlic bread.

Most of us don’t need a family-sized pizza to ourselves. Have a few slices with a side salad.

THAI \ Sam approved: Veggie-packed dishes with great flavour such as a lemongrass chicken and vegetables stir-fry. Skip it: Deep-fried delicacies such as spring rolls or money bags, and excessive amounts of rice or noodles.

Go for veggie-packed dishes that are flavoured with herbs and spices like chilli, and stir-fried

dishes made with coconut milk. Lean meats and veggies are a great option.

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

SUSHI \ Sam approved: Sashimi and brown-rice hand rolls. Skip it: Tempura or other fried fillings (crispy chicken), mayo-packed rolls and sushi rice.

Go for brown rice over white rice and sashimi in favour of hand rolls where you can. I love raw tuna hand rolls with brown rice when sashimi just won’t do the trick.

MEXICAN \ Sam approved: Grilled fajitas, softcorn tortillas, salsa, salads and corn. Skip it: Enchiladas, sour cream, bulk cheese and too many corn chips.

Mexican salads are delicious as they often use salsas, beans, guacamole and other flavoursome additions. It can be easy to fill up on corn chips when you’re hungry but give these a miss and have grilled corn instead, or just wait until your main meal. Fajitas are a better option than burritos as they come with grilled meat and vegetable and a fresh corn tortilla. Yum.

CHINESE \ Sam approved: Steamed dumplings and vegetables, with a small amount of rice. Skip it: Fried rice, spring rolls, sweet and sour sauces.

Always go for the steamed options, load up on veggies, have a broth-based soup and practise portion control. Have no more than a fistful of rice.

FISH AND CHIPS \ Sam approved: Grilled seafood

with healthy salads. Skip it: Battered fish, large quantities of chips, dim sims and potato cakes.

Almost everything on the menu at traditional fish and chip shops seems to be fried. Try grilled fish instead – lots of fish and chip places serve these with a side of brown rice and a salad.

INDIAN \ Sam approved: Tandoori meats, spinach or tomato based sauces, with a little bit of plain naan. Skip it: Butter chicken and deep-fried snacks.

Indian probably has the worst reputation healthwise, but there are some great options if you look beyond butter chicken and fried deliciousness. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

When voting for the ideal residence, most members of three or four-children families would likely be swayed by a choice of living areas. A short to-do list and usable outdoor areas could also influence their decision. With a liberal dose of living space, nothing required in terms of labour and outdoor entertaining areas seeing green over almost 0.4 hectares of lovely gardens, this property could win enough votes to cause a house-warming party.

You can hold that party in and out of doors.

The abode fronts up rustically in dark weatherboard, with the attached carport in sync with its minimalist lines.

Entry to the elevated ground floor is to a foyer with a cutaway to an open-plan space linking living, dining, familymeals and kitchen areas. A verandah reachable through the living and family-meals area and a balcony off the kitchen give the space an easy, indoor-outdoor flow.

You can bunker down by the gas-log fireplace in the dining area in colder weather. The kitchen, with stainless steel and timber benchtops, textured-tile splashback, big pantry and free-standing Belling stove, is fit for cooking up a storm anytime. Chef gets extra inspiration from beaut views through the kitchen window.

A hall to the right of this hub leads to a minor bedroom, the study and the main bedroom suite.

The study has a long desk and built-in shelves. With a false wall delineating a walk-in wardrobe, and a walk-in shower and designer basin on a stone-topped vanity in the en suite, the main suite is stylishly complete.
