Home and Away fans recently saw Kyle perform at the Summer Bay music festival, but actor Nic Westaway says his music is taking a back seat to his acting career now.

Nic says Home and Away producers were looking for someone to fill the gap left by the exit of muso Axle Whitehead and he was happy to do that on the show, but: "I kind of discovered that I wanted [music] as a hobby when I discovered acting and that's where my passion was.

"I wanted to pursue that little bit further, so who knows what happens in the future, whether I revisit music... I don't think I'll ever stop playing guitar and singing and having that musical side to me."

Watch our video chat with Nic, as he reveals more about his inner rockstar, co-star Dan Ewing's exit from the soap…and more!
