If being awarded first prize at the 2003 Sydney Cabaret Convention wasn't enough for the talented Shaun Rennie, then maybe revelling in the acclaim he is receiving from hard New York critics might be. Winning the convention gave Rennie his air ticket, an invitation to perform at the 'Mabel Mercer Foundation Cabaret Convention' and the added confidence to tackle New York head on. But, only he can lay claim to the talent needed to prove yourself in the make or break city.
Boarding the plane, Rennie was armed with his defined velvet smooth vocals, a rugged natural beauty, ambition and his self penned cabaret show, "Second Star to the Right" to make his mark withÂ… it seems this was more than enough!
Under the wing of famed New York musical director Christopher Denny, Rennie and 'Second Star to the Right' were thrown into the deep end with the first performance scheduled being the daunting cabaret convention before stepping onto the stage a few nights later at the coveted 'Algonquin Oak Room'.
The success and word of mouth stemmed from these two performances alone led Rennie to playing a further four shows to packed houses at 'Danny's Skylight Room' before impressed critics and appreciative audiences.
Having now just returned home to Sydney, another surprise awaited this admired 21-year-old: An invitation to return to the US in March for additional pre-booked shows, giving Rennie the opportunity to again heighten his growing international profile.
New York City is a long way from home for a suburban Sydney boy that became a regular performer on "Good Morning Australia", appeared in several high profile TV commercials, sang the national anthem for televised sports matches, attended the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) and toured nationally for 2 years in the Australian smash hit cast of "Mamma Mia" in the role of 'Pepper', but Rennie is prepared to sacrifice such comforts for a chance at continued success abroad.
