According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, Redfern possessed a "booming, mature voice which belied his tender age". His music sales exceeded 1.3 million records, making him one of the most successful Australian pop artists of the 1970s.
In 1972, Redfern left Young Talent Time to tour the US with the legendary entertainer, Liberace. This experience further honed his skills as a performer and exposed him to new audiences.
