Basic Bio:
R&B/Soul Crooner Mike Champion, is a true reflection of dedication and perseverance. For close to a decade he has remained at the forefront of the underground urban music scene in Australia.
Ten years in the making, he has just released his debut album entitled “YOUNG BOY OLD SOUL” to the world. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Musiq Soulchild & Maxwell, Mike Champion oozes an envious yet humble charm and charisma his fellow musicians admire. With boyish good looks, a poetic mind and a voice to dim the lights, Mike Champion is undoubtedly a natural-born superstar.
Whether you have been a day-one fan or just getting your first taste of Mike Champion, one thing is for certain, you will be tantalised by the amount of flavour he has on offer. He has built a reputation for himself as being a charismatic crowd pleaser who knows how to execute his role as a natural performer.
Mike’s presence electrifies a room. This coupled with his magnetic charm brings followers and fans by the 1000′s. His sweet sounding, silky vocal is well matched with the smooth and soulful production of his newly released, underground hit debut LP entitled Young Boy – Old Soul.
Based on a goal to create “Grown Folk Music” to enthral an audience of all ages, Champion’s Young Boy – Old Soul definitely exceeds all expectations. The LP features local producer and long time friend Don Dolla, as well as other local Artists “the Champ” has connected with, somewhere along his journey.
In surrounding himself with positive and gifted producers, singers, musicians and mentors Mike has intentionally set himself to become a Soul Legend.

David Jones – Autumn/Winter 2013
7 FebI love, love, LOVED David Jones’ Autumn/Winter collection launch yesterday. Of particular interest and fun was the cheeky statement being made to rival, Myer, by sending the stunning Miranda Kerr down the runway wearing Ellery, a brand that was, until recently, a Myer staple.
Dramas aside, the collection featured clashing patterns (surprise, surprise) and showed a more fashion forward side of David Jones, not seen in a while. This was best exemplified by the plethora of leather and lace options that stunned A-listers and fashion lovers present. The leather, I believe, is part of the BDSM movement inspired, arguably, by none other than 50 Shades of Grey. Louis Vuitton seems to have started the movement with their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. The lace, however, was an evolution of this idea that adds an element of femininity and softness to the risqué element of leather.
All in all, great job David Jones! I think this iconic brand is making a come back, and Awkward Sydney supports you all the way!
