The heat is on!

Local 19yo singing sensation Marshall Hamburger from Doonan – aka Burger Boi – has made it to the top 10 of this year’s Australian Idol, airing on Channel 7 and 7plus. The self-professed nerd and gamer is hoping to overcome his nerves to claim the Idol title.

Marshall said, “I am so honoured and grateful to be a part of the legendary Australian Idol Top 10! I’m excited to keep performing on the Idol stage and show Australia what kind of music I have to offer the industry. This is the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my career so there’s definitely a bit of pressure to deliver some Idol-worthy performances, but I’m mostly just excited to get to work and give it my all!”

Marshall’s top 10 performance of The Heat is On earned him a safe pass with the judges selecting him to go straight through to the top 10 without waiting for the viewer vote count.

Australian Idol judge and renowned musician Amy Shark commented after his performance saying, “Oh my god, burger with the lot! That was so cool man. I loved it!”
