Guy Christopher Mutton, also known as Mutto (born in England, 17th October 1976), is an Australian male singer, a Top 12 contestant in the fourth season of Australian Idol and lead singer of the Gold Coast based rock band, Soulframe.

Guy has worked with kids as a teacher leaving a career in education when his band Soulframe began gaining popularity. With experience on drums and piano, Guy was initially reluctant to audition as a vocalist. However, since Mutto took over lead vocals Soulframe has won several Australian music awards. Songs from their 2005 album, "Escaping Entropy" collected a win and 3 further nominations in categories at the 2004 Annual MusicOz Awards[1], two of the top 10 spots in their category for the 2005 Australian Songwriters Association Awards[2], and a win in their category for the NZ-based 2005 Pacific Songwriting Competition.[3]

He sang U2's "All I Want Is You" at the Brisbane auditions of Australian Idol 4 and made top 124 in Sydney. During the first semi final round, Mutto sang "Meant to Live" by Switchfoot but did not accrue enough votes to advance. His nickname Mutto applied to SMS votes as well. On 31 August, he was selected into the wildcard show for a second chance in earning a place in the Top 12. Mutto performed Eskimo Joe's "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" which resulted with mixed critques from the judges. However, on September 4, the judges advanced Mutto into the Top 12 as the second of four successful wildcard contestants.

Mutto became the fourth performer voted out of the Australian Idol Top 12 on October 2.

[edit] Post-Idol

Since leaving Australian Idol, Mutto has returned to lead vocals for Soulframe.

Mutto has also guest hosted Sea FM's "The List with Age & Renee" top 30 radio show. Mutto filled in for the week of the 6th to the 10th November in the absence of "Age", one of the regular hosts.
