Damien's Bio on the official site gets updated all the time and half the time we probably don't even realise it's been changed, so I thought we should have a thread to post each new bio. (BTW I'm not sure if we're actually allowed to copy it - are there copyright restrictions or something? 
Delete this thread if I shouldn't be posting it.)
Anyway, here's the current one. I had never seen it before yesterday so I don't know how new it is.
Damien Leith is a singer, songwriter, author and family man. After winning Australian Idol in 2006 his career and profile has sky rocketed.
Damien has since released three albums through Sony/BMG records with them collectively selling over 500,000 units. 'The Winner's Journey' and 'Where we Land' albums both held the no.1 position on the Australian music chart while his latest album 'Catch the Wind; Songs of a Generation' reached no.2.
In October 2007, Leith was nominated for 3 Australian ARIA Music Awards including; "Best Breakthrough Single", "Highest Selling Single" for Night of My Life and "Highest Selling Album" for The Winner's Journey, which he won.
In February 2008, Damien was host to Network Ten's heart-warming television series "Saving Kids". A show filmed at Sydney Children's Hospital which allowed viewers to see medical miracles unfold in the stories of children being treated for serious illnesses and horrific injuries. His song "Not Just For The Weekend" was used as the theme song for the show.
Damien has been nominated and won many prestigious awards in his short career and has even released his first fiction novel 'One More Time' through Harper Collins Publishers with his second novel due out late 2009.
Damien is currently doing an extensive national tour.
Note the bit about the second novel - is that right?
