We all know So You Think You Can Dance runner-up Rhys can bust a move, but did you know he’s also a mean singer? We’ll soon get a chance to hear him flex his vocal chords on his debut single Hot Summer.
Just like Rhys’ moves on the dancefloor, his sound is anything but predictable.
“For me music and movement have always gone hand in hand. I like anything that makes me wanna dance. Be it indy and disco, to soulful house and gospel,” he explained in a press release.
“Growing up at the Johnny Young Talent School has definitely defined my eclectic tastes. Throw in some electro, breaks and I’m there! Major influences on me have been the likes of Prince, ELO, Madonna, Queen, Daft Punk, Madonna and Basement Jaxx. I’m also totally inspired by some amazing Aussie acts at the moment, like the Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Gotye and Van She.”
The addictive “Hot Summer” will be Network Ten’s advertising soundtrack, so we’re sure to hear a lot more of it!It’s also available for download from iTunes on Monday.
