On this episode of 50 Shades Of Slaids I’m joined by a singer, songwriter and musician that stormed his way into Australian rock n roll history with his debut single “Don’t Need Love” back in 1989.
With 16 studio albums to his name 45 singles, 5 top ten singles, 6 top twenty singles, 6 Aria Awards, 650 000+ Monthly Spotify listeners, 100 Million Streams and More than a million physical album sales I can only be talking about one person, Diesel. Diesel is about to embark on the second leg of his hugely successful By Request 2026 tour.
This leg dubbed the Spring leg focuses on Victoria and New South Wales and true to the first time around is performing all of YOUR favourite songs from his catalogue, his personal favourites and you also have the opportunity to register a song you would like to hear Diesel perform at the show you are attending.
In this interview we travel through his career, from the major labels to his more independent works. We talk the highs and lows and what truly sparks his passion for music. The Spring 2026 By Request shows are NOT to be missed as the performances are spellbinding.
