David Campbell
There are many singers in many styles on the Australian charts. But there's only one David Campbell. He has featured on television programs, starred in musical theatre, devised in his own cabaret shows in New York.
David Campbell is one of Australia’s most popular entertainers. A multiplatinum selling recording artist, Campbell has featured on TV, starred in theatre and cabaret, recorded three Top Ten albums, and sold out concert tours from coast to coast. He has a unique legacy as not just one of Australia’s leading musical theatre stars, but also one of the few local performers to have achieved similar success in New York.
In 2001, at the height of his New York success, Campbell was tempted back to Australia by the role of a lifetime – ‘the wild one’ Johnny O’Keefe, in the musical phenomenon Shout! He toured Australia in the show for over a year, and became a household name as a result.
Campbell established himself quickly as one of the country’s biggest-selling recording artists. His albums The Swing Sessions (2006), The Swing Sessions 2 (2007), and Good Lovin’ (2008) all hit the Top Ten and achieved platinum sales. He has also mounted no fewer than five sell-out concert tours – for which he has received a further two Helpmann Awards. In 2009, his live concert DVD Good Lovin’ Live hit number one on the ARIA chart.
A highly sought after master of ceremonies and live performer, David has hosted and performed at hundreds of events for numerous corporate and charitable organisations. David was recently been appointed as an Ambassador for the Starlight Foundation and regularly supports Dr Charlie Teo’s Cure For Life Foundation at annual events nationally. Along with a Logie Nomination for Most Popular New Talent in 2013, David also co-hosted the 2013 Carols By Candlelight telecast for the Nine Network with Lisa Wilkinson.
