Barry Conrad

An undeniable talent, Barry Conrad is a rising star with a career already spanning screen, stage and music. Conrad became a household name in Australia after reaching the X-Factor’s Final 12 on Channel 7, and since then his career has been on an unstoppable rise. Conrad has already toured the globe with Israel Houghton – a five-time Grammy-winning artist, and supported the world-renowned Darlene Zschech on tour. A talented songwriter and producer, he has also written tracks for an array of leading artists.

As an actor, Conrad made his TV debut in Power Rangers: Ninja Storm and also starred numerous commercials before getting his first big break in The Sapphires, a #1 box office hit film. He then made his musical theatre debut in the critically acclaimed production of Broadway hit show VIOLET in both Melbourne and Sydney.

After the success of VIOLET, stage roles came flooding in for Conrad including Grease: The Arena Experience (playing Kenickie), BEAUTIFUL: The Carole King Musical, Hairspray Arena Spectacular (Seaweed) and MADIBA the Musical. In 2020 Conrad landed the role of Kane Jones on Australia’s world famous long-running series Neighbours.

In demand for his musical skills, acting abilities and also as a model, there’s no doubt Conrad is one of Australia’s most exciting new talents, but he still finds time away from the world of show business to be an ambassador for R U OK?, a suicide-prevention charity.
