Description:

Eddie Perfect has been entertaining us for years. 

A star of stage and screen, he’s a writer of Broadway musicals, played Mick Holland on Offspring, and once composed a musical about Shane Warne. 

Eddie’s currently starring in the titular role for another musical he wrote – Beetlejuice - and he nails it. 

But for someone with such a varied life in song, I was curious about the inspirations he drew from. 

Strap in for his source material, and some truly beautiful nerding out on music.

  • The Beach Boys - 'I Get Around'
  • Lauryn Hill - 'Ex-Factor'
  • Rage Against The Machine - 'Killing In The Name'
  • Ella Fitzgerald - 'Fascinating Rhythm'
