With a flair for poignant ballads and pop/rock singles, Missy Higgins became one of Australia's most popular artists during the early 21st century. Her songwriting career began in Melbourne, where she attended boarding school and balanced her time between academics and music. Higgins' sister got ahold of "All for Believing," one of Missy's earliest songs, and mailed a copy to Australia's Triple J radio station without her sister's consent. The song ended up winning an unsigned artist competition named Triple J Unearthed, which effectively sparked Higgins' career as a singer/songwriter.

After signing with Eleven, the same Australian record company used by such homeland heroes as Silverchair, Higgins issued a self-titled EP in November 2003. The Scar EP appeared in August 2004 and set the scene for her full-length debut, Sound of White, which appeared the following September. Sound of White proved to be remarkably successful, remaining on the Australian charts for two years and going platinum nine times. Higgins then set her sights on America, where she made her debut in January 2005 with the domestic-only All for Believing EP. Released through Warner Bros., it included the title track and four other songs cherry-picked from the Sound of White LP (which was reissued in the U.S. shortly thereafter).

Missy Higgins issued her sophomore album, On a Clear Night, in 2007, with an American release following in early 2008. While Sound of White had emphasized Higgins' flair for piano, On a Clear Night featured a new emphasis on guitar, which Higgins had used to compose the majority of the tracks. "Steer," the album's leadoff single, became her second number one hit in Australia. ~ Andrew Leahey & Johnny Loftus, All Music GuideMore

Lilith Fair
It's so exciting to see such an amazing reaction to Lilith's return in 2010. We are busy internally pulling the development team together. Marty and I are also seeing a lot of artists reaching out with their interest in being involved. To that end, I think a great place to go to research or even suggest music is a site I checked out:

Thank you for the add. You were an unexpected (and pleasant) find as I browsed the Internet a few months ago. Thank you for sharing your time, energy and talent. I'm curious to know where the inspiration came from your song Warm Whispers. It's lovely. Cheers!
