Upon graduating from St. Joseph's Fanning moved on to the University of Queensland, where he studied journalism for a short time.

After Bishop left and guitarist Darren Middleton joined, the band released five studio albums in fifteen years and achieved mainstream success in Australia.

Powderfinger reunited in 2007 and released two more albums before disbanding in late 2010.
While Powderfinger's style focuses on alternative rock, Fanning's solo music is generally described as a mixture of blues and acoustic folk.
He plays guitar, piano, keyboards, and harmonica both when performing solo and also with Powderfinger.
Often speaking out against Australian political figures, Fanning has donated much of his time to philanthropic causes.
