February 4, 2011. Guy Sebastian played a few songs for a fundraising event held at the Australian Embassy in Washington, DC called 'Mopping Up Down Under', to raise money for the Queensland Premier's Flood Relief Appeal. In this one evening the event raised over $70000 for the Appeal. Guy said he was very nervous about having to do the rap in the middle of this song!
