Missy Higgins  is one of Australia’s most beloved singer/songwriters. Her music has struck a deep and enduring chord with its irresistible melodies and ‘arrow through the heart’ lyrics. Since being Unearthed by Triple J back in 2002 while still at high school Missy has blazed a trail for female singer/songwriters, marching to her own drumbeat. She has won 11 ARIA Awards and notched six #1’s in her homeland while also enjoying a gold certification in the USA.

The Sound Of White was 2005’s ARIA Album Of The Year featuring the hits ‘Scar’, ’Ten Days’ and ’The Special Two’. 2007’s On A Clear Night (feat. ‘Where I Stood’ plus #1 single ‘Steer’) was also the highest selling release of the year in Australia. After a few years break from music Missy returned in 2012 with another chart topper The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle (feat. ‘Everyone’s Waiting’). By now her songwriting had become less introspective. A unique book/covers album ‘OZ’ was followed by Solastalgia which explored the existential dread of our climate crisis. Lead single ‘Futon Couch’ became her biggest radio success in a decade, as Missy supported Ed Sheeran on his ÷ Stadium Tour.

In November 2024 Missy was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame capping a huge year including a new #1 album called
The Second Act - “a kind of sequel” to her hugely influential debut The Sound Of White. Although the two albums are separated by exactly 20 years they both grapple with the same questions ... “who am I?” and “who do I want to be?”.
