Titus Day, 49, had pleaded not guilty to more than 40 charges alleging he embezzled almost $900,000 owed to Sebastian through royalties, performance and ambassador fees.

But a jury on Thursday convicted him on more than 30 charges, while they found him not guilty of 13 charges.

Day was found to have withheld hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to Mr Sebastian in royalty and performance fee payments between 2013 and 2020.

Day managed the Australian Idol winner via his company 6 Degrees between 2009 and 2017 before the pair's relationship ended acrimoniously.

The singer filed a lawsuit against his former manager in the Federal Court in July 2018.

Two years later he approached police when he says he discovered criminal behaviour.

The Crown is seeking a detention application against Day.
