Broad attended the pre-auditions in Dunedin in October 2014 and advanced through to the judges' auditions. Broad performed "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake at his audition and received positive feedback from all four judges. Broad performed Nick Jonas' "Jealous" at Judges Retreats. His mentor Melanie Blatt picked Broad as one of her final three acts which advanced to the live shows. With the elimination of Sarah Spicer in week 4 and Joe Irvine in week 5, Broad was the last act in the Over 25's category mentored by Melanie Blatt. After his week 8 performance of Tiki Taane's "Always On My Mind", Broad found himself for the first time in the bottom two against Stevie Tonks. Broad sang "I Lived" by OneRepublic in the final showdown against Tonks, but lost the judges vote with three of the four judges choosing to send Broad home. Broad came 5th overall.
