I am RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED about this next contest for several reasons!!
Presenting to you, a very talented young Aussie artist - MISSY HIGGINS!
Missy was brought up in Melbourne, Australia (just like me!) but she's a few years younger than me so we don't know each other from school!
Missy won the Unearthed contest held by Triple J when she was just 16, with a song she wrote herself. This is a huge competition in Australia.
Her first complete album was released in 2004 when she was just 21 and debuted at #1 on the Australian charts!
Her second album, On A Clear Night was released in the US in February and she is currently touring in the US supporting the Indigo Girls! Check her MYSPACE page for tour dates and information
Two of her songs have been featured on FOX’s “So You Think You Can
Dance”, she performed on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” AND her album
is currently Top 20 on iTunes!
On A Clear Night
- Where I Stood
- 100 Round The Bends
- Steer
- Sugarcane
- Secret
