MISSY HIGGINS As a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Melbourne this female performer has enjoyed phenomenal success in her homeland, relying on her undeniable songs and unforgettable live performances to build a genuine connection with her audience.
Her 'The Sound Of White' album scooped the 2005 ARIA Awards, adding 5 gongs (including the coveted Album Of The Year) to the one her 'Scar' EP had earned the previous year. She also won an APRA songwriter's award, appeared twice on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' Magazine, and enjoyed major hit singles which propelled 'The Sound Of White' to nine times platinum status in Australia for sales of over 650,000 copies, making it the biggest selling CD of 2005 and one of the most popular releases in the country's history.
