第一屆澳洲偶像的參賽者Axle Whitehead，雖然在比賽中沒有進入最后的Final 10，但比賽結束后即獲得澳洲10臺的音樂主持人職位，可惜由于之后在澳洲音樂頒獎典禮的cock flashing動作而被炒魷魚了。即使被冠以“猥褻”，在同志圈里越來越hot的Axle Whitehead依然表示完全不后悔這么做，并且會“do it again”。 2008發行的處女專輯《Losing Sleep》，受到負面新聞的影響，專輯銷量并不好，在澳大利亞連TOP50都沒能進入。但是拋開其備受爭議的私生活不談，這張專輯還是很有聽點的。先行單曲I Dont Do Surprises打入單曲榜的TOP 10。“Satellite”節奏強勁，可以領略到Axle嫻熟的假聲。“Anywhere”節奏激勁，很適合在開車的時候聽。 “Landslide”則以鋼琴做旋律的基底鋪陳，貫穿整首曲子。 Axle Whitehead (born 16 December 1980 in Melbourne, Australia) is a former Australian Video Hits TV host and current singer and musician.
