"I've always in the back of my mind and in my heart felt like I never showcased myself in Australia like on a big stage and back on TV again," Foley told 9Honey Celebrity in June.

"I've been a soloist since I was 10 years old, but I didn't get the opportunity to showcase that as I was always Nathan from Hi-5. I really wanted to get up on stage to prove myself and say this is the real me and show Australia who I am."
