Fifteen musicians made the cut to compete for the ultimate prize in Rockstar: INXS – to become the new lead singer of Australia’s legendary rock band, INXS. But where are they now?
6. Jordis Unga was the youngest finalist at 22 years old. Everyone was marveled by her talent but pressure led her to doubt herself, and she was eliminated. Since the show, Jordis has released several singles, including “”Man Who Sold The World”and “Try Not”, both of which she sang in the show. She is now gearing up to release her debut CD soon. Visit her official website for more information.
7. Ty Taylor was the former guitarist and vocalist for Dakota Moon before he competed in Rockstar INXS. He was one of the strong performers in the show and was known as the rockstar with the Mohawk. He is currently in the latest musical theatre run of Pippin in Los Angeles, CA.
8. Deanna Johnston, originally from Canada, was an early favorite in the show. Halfway through the show, though, she found herself in the bottom three and was eliminated a week later. Since Rockstar: INXS, Deanna has recorded several songs for other artists including INXS’ album, Switch. In 2007, she was featured as one of the house band singers for NBC’s Singing Bee. She currently released her latest album through her website.
9. Jessica Robinson was the frontwoman for Chicago rock band, Covergurl before appearing as one of the finalists in Rockstar:INXS. She eventually was eliminated because of a lack of votes from the fans. She currently is performing with Covergurl and working on her own solo album.
10. Brandon Calhoun is a Southern rocker from Michigan. Despite giving excellent performances every week, INXS found it hard to think of him as anything other than a Southern rocker and eliminated him in Week 6. Little news is known of Brandon Calhoun after Rockstar: INXS.
Coming next, the last six finalists of Rockstar: INXS and the rockstars of Rockstar: Supernova.
