Singer Jarrad Ricketts is proving to be a man of many talents.
The 30-year-old performer is set to launch his own unisex clothing brand, called Testimony.
His range will include suits, sweats, tracksuits, active wear and resort basics for all ages.
“Having studied art and design, I am always finding new ways to express myself or share my point of view. I have done this through my music and many art exhibitions,” Jarrad says.
“I am excited to be taking my audience on a different journey where I can expose other facets of my creativity.
“I used to design matric ball outfits for pupils in high school, so it was always going to be a natural progression.
“I want to create an aspirational brand which creates and spreads a positive feel and message of hope and faith.”
Jarrad was recently eliminated from Presenter Search on 3, but is not dwelling on the setback.
He has just released a new single If You Like, off his SA Music Awards-nominated album Break The Rules.

“The single has a very strong 80s feel. I wanted to pay tribute to the sounds and bands I grew up listening to, such as Bros and Maroon 5. I have released one album but six singles off the album, all of which have gone up to No 1 spots on radio charts nationally,” he says.
