LODDON singing sensation Elias Lanyon had a message for Australian dreamers in his Australia Day address at Boort.
“If a young farmer can step on stage and belt out a few tunes in front of cameras, then anything is possible,” he said.
Elias spoke of his journey last year as a contestant on television show The Voice Australia and hinted at tours and new songs.
“Whether I’m on the farm, on stage or in front of a microphone, my music will always be part of me,” he said.
“I’ll continue to make those who’ve supported me proud.”
Elias told more than 100 people at ceremony in Boort Scout Hall that growing up on the family farm had shaped who he was today.
“While at times it’s a tough lifestyle, I wouldn’t change it for the world,” he said.
“The daily lessons I’ve learned ... are experiences not many people get to have.”
