Adrian's day job is cooking at Orange Ex-Services Club but he can often be found singing at work, at home and in the car.
He hopes to improve on his performance at last year's audition.
"I went last year but I didn't even get through to the first round. I want to get through to the three judges, just to get a professional musician's opinion," he said.
Adrian discovered his talent and love for singing when he performed in his first musical at the age of 15.
Thousands of potential pop stars are expected to attend the Sydney auditions, held over three days at Darling Harbour.
Auditions have already been held in Cairns, Hobart, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Adrian has not yet decided what he will sing but has narrowed his options down to songs by John Farnham, Robbie Williams and Frank Sinatra.
"It will either be a jazz or contemporary song. The song has to show what you're capable of as well as entertain people," he said.
Adrian said he "wouldn't know what to do" if he won the competition but hopes people would buy his records if he did.
He will start lining up at about 2.30 tomorrow morning in the hope of getting in to the audition quickly.
