Mr Asia World-Australia 2016, 26-year-old Rede Carney was born in Subiaco, Western Australia, but moved to Sydney where he has lived his whole life. His mother’s parents were both born in Delhi, India, the place, he says, from where he got his “beautiful skin tan”. Rede’s father’s parents were both Australian, the reason for his deep blue eyes.
Rede developed a love for helping people during primary school and always wanted to be a teacher. In 2011, he received his Bachelor of Primary Education after four years at Notre Dame University Australia. Although he approached modelling agencies in his mid-teens, he was turned away. Determined to see his passion through, he gave modelling another shot and went back to agencies in his early 20s signing with one of the top ones in Australia – Scoop Model Management. He bagged clients such as Men’s Health, Nike and David Jones and never looked back.
Last year, Rede started his own personal training business, helping people get moving and achieve their fitness goals and gain confidence in themselves. Around the same time, he started to train in boxing and is competed in his first amateur fight.
Giving back to the community has always been in the forefront of Rede’s life, and the model-trainer focusses on anti-bullying campaigns as well as those that revolve around anti-obesity. Educating Australia on how to stay active and enjoy being active is his main priority. Now looking forward to using his Mr Asia World title as a platform to give back to the community, Rede will also be representing Australia in Canada in late 2016.
