Respected throughout the music industry for sticking to his guns during his time on Australian Idol by staying true to his original big-band style, persistence has paid off for Idol's 'Swing King' Carl Riseley, as he starts 2008 off swinging. In 2008, Carl is embarking on the next step in his career as a modern day crooner by signing on to legendary manager Ralph Carr (Vanessa Amorosi, Kate Ceberano). The year will see the release of Carl's debut album The Rise, as well as some exciting live performances and plenty of that characteristic swing style. Hailed as the next Harry Connick Jnr, there is no argument that the future is bright for this young and incredibly talented musician.
