AUSTRALIA'S Got Talent judge Brian McFadden will head to the US next week to try to - like his fiancee Delta Goodrem - crack the American music market.
McFadden will join Goodrem, who is based there, and the couple will make the US their new home.
I really thought my days of packing up and starting in a new country were over, he said yesterday (Monday).
I've never tried to crack the US market, but I'm going to give it a good go this time.
Universal (his record company) came to me after they heard (his single) Just Say So and said they thought it could work in the States.
McFadden said after his time on AGT he had decided that music, not TV, was his true calling.
I've never really been interested in TV, he said. It's not really my thing. Being on stage and singing is the passion and that's what I want to do.
McFadden spent last week in Bali at a songwriters' retreat with 15 other musicians, including Goodrem.
I came back with a terrible case of Bali belly, so that wasn't ideal, he said.
But it was an amazing time. Usually when you write songs, you're stuck in a small room somewhere in the city, so to be in the jungle in Bali was just amazing.
McFadden has also joined the World Cup 1GOAL campaign to highlight the plight of children in Third World countries.
It's a different charity in the sense that we're not asking people to donate, he said. All we want people to do is to sign up to bring attention to the cause.
