Sydney entrepreneur Ron Creevey, who runs Kings Cross studio and venue The X Studio, said he has spent the last two years working on the project alongside LA-based record producer Danny Saber. In total 15 songs will be released.

"At least five songs are brilliant," Creevey said. "There's going to be two duets that will come out with two very big artists that I can't legally name at the moment and then there's singles he did himself."

Creevey has also been gathering artefacts and documents belonging to Hutchence to build up a picture of the final years of his life.

Along with diaries and notes of Hutchence's, Creevey says he also developed film in a disposable camera the singer used not long before he died.

All of this will be used in a documentary that Creevey will release next year, to mark the 20th anniversary since Hutchence's death.
