Australian Idol

Ricky gained first attention at the Melbourne auditions of Australian Idol 4 by singing Shai's "If I Ever Fall In Love Again" and winning the judges over to make the Top 124 in Sydney. Following a controversial falling out on day two of the theatre round with trio member Jorge Bec, Ricky put all his focus into his singing and gained a place in the Top 24. During the first semi final round, Ricky sang "So Sick" by Ne*Yo but did not accrue enough votes to advance.

On September 4, the judges advanced Ricky into the Top 12 as the first of four successful wildcard contestants.
