Songs From The Heart
While his first big career win was with Australian Idol and his tip of the hat to Roy Orbison was a hit, Damien Leith tells Jake Dennis that he deserves to be known as much more than a covers artist.


Damien Leo Leith (born 18 January 1976, in Dublin) is an Irish-Australian singer–songwriter. He was the winner of the Network Ten music contest Australian Idol in 2006. Since winning the title, Leith has released nine studio albums, four of which peaked in the top two of the ARIA Charts, including two number ones. He has been awarded seven platinum and one gold certification for albums and singles by ARIA, which equates to sales of just over half a million.
