Australian R&B star Guy Sebastian has proposed to his long-time girlfriend Jules Egan.

Gossip magazine New Idea reports that 26 year old Guy proposed to 28 year old Jules over the holiday break during a walk on the beach in Queensland.

The couple have been together for 8 years and met 13 years ago at the Assemblies of God Paradise Community Church in Adelaide. New Idea reports that they became a couple after singing together at a friends wedding.

The marriage proposal tops a great year for Sebastian who found himself musically with his 'The Memphis Album'.

The album was recorded with music legends Steve Cropper and Donald 'Duck' Dunn, of Booker T. & The MG's and Blues Brothers fame.

Sebastian, the first of the Australian Idols, broke away from the cookie-cutter format of the show to produce a credible album away from the pop genre. He discover his true talent is based on classic Rhythm & Blues.

'The Memphis Album' features covers from the historic Stax label, the 50 year old Memphis label where the talent genius sounds of Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd and Wilson Pickett were originally captured.

'The Memphis Album' has sold 99,999 physical CD units in Australia since entering the charts 8 weeks ago.
