According to proud dad David, Mitchell has been inundated with offers from “all over” eager to

capitalise on his country-rock singing talents. Talking to the Guardian News earlier this week, Mitchell said a country music label had been in contact with him to make an album.

However, the Nambucca Heads singer is under contract to Sony.

Since appearing on The X Factor, Mitchell’s Facebook page has been inundated with fans urging him to make an album and offering to write the songs.

“I already have 10,000 people messaging me on Facebook and they have said they will buy my album,” he said.

Mitchell is confident of a sell-out album, and said he had not had any bad feedback. And, if you are willing to work hard enough, you will make it, he said. Mitchell’s long-term plan is to emulate the success of Australian country rock singer, Keith Urban, in Nashville (USA).

“If I go to Nashville, I will be happy,” he said.

Mitchell is confident he will be heading to the States within two years. In the meantime Mitchell will be heading back to The X Factor studio next week for finals rehearsals.

He is keen to head back to the Mid North Coast to perform locally and also at Tamworth, Australia’s home of country music.

Understandably, his parents David and Lesley are extremely proud of their son’s success.

“We’re proud as,” David said.

A well-know country rock singer at Valley pubs, David said Mitchell debuted his singing talents just 18 months ago. Mitchell had been forced to wear a halo for three months after breaking his neck during a football game.

“Country music has been a big part of our family for along time, and Mitchell just got up with the halo on and started singing,” he said.
