Q- OK, I just heard your new single "Insatiable", and I have to say you have an amazing voice! Plus, I hear your first solo album, Spin, is on the way. How would you describe its sound?
A- Its romantic. Its sexy. Its pop, but it's spicy. It's the next step in my career and in some ways it feels like I'm just arriving for the first time. I worked really hard to develop and grow from my musical past in Savage Garden. More than anything, its just a very up, electronic, soulful, FUN album.

Q- Who have your influences been? And what celeb have you always wanted to meet?
A- I grew up listening to a lot of Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, early Michael Jackson. Nowadays I love everything from Basement Jaxx to Spiritualized.

Q- Style is something our readers love to play with. How would you describe your personal style?
A- Natural. In some ways I'm the anti-celebrity. I love that at the moment I'm looking very Australian. It's been a while since I could say that.

Q- So, anything else you want to say to seventeen's readers?
A- I look forward to seeing all of your readers on my tour in 2002!
