Adrian Eagle is a world away from where his life began in the southern suburbs of Adelaide.
At 17, he weighed 270 kilograms and was in dangerous territory, which he described as a"subconscious killing" of himself.
While his religious beliefs stopped him from taking his own life, it did not stop destructive behaviour."I'm sure a lot of us are subconsciously killing ourselves, but for me it was pretty extreme, I was mentally in prison, I didn't want to leave the house and I was absolutely in a bad way."His single A.O.K was nominated in the Best Soul/R&B Release category in this week's ARIA awards.
