Tyrone Noonan has become a household name in Australia as co-lead singer and instrumentalist of the much-loved band george.
With over 300,000 sales under its belt, the bands debut album entered the ARIA charts at No.1 and stayed in the Top 10 for 15 weeks, achieving double platinum status and earning them a coveted ARIA award. The bands second album debuted at No.5 and achieved platinum sales.
Amongst numerous milestones, george has conducted a multitude of sell-out tours throughout Australia, supported the likes of Jewel and Macy Gray, performed to 1.8 billion people for the Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony and also completed a sell-out tour to the UK, Ireland, Scotland and Japan.
With george now on an open-ended break, Tyrone is embarking on his most exciting career phase internationally as a solo artist.
His sound is timeless pop/rock, taking its cues from the 60s, 70s and 80s with subtle soul/groove/punk elements and an excitement that you can just feel in the music, something which the sell-out crowds for Tori Amos 2005 national tour (featuring Tyrone as solo support) all agreed with.
Tyrone is a multi-faceted musician and entertainer at home on stage or the studio, taking on the role(s) of singer, songwriter, keyboardist, guitarist, soundtrack composer/sound designer, arranger, engineer, producer or DJ.
His jazz side project, Palimpsest - http://www.palimpsest.com.au - released its debut album in 2004 and entered the AIR charts in the top 10, conducting a successful Australian tour and earning huge praise in reviews throughout the national media.
