Jessica Mauboy is enjoying another “career” year. Though this time, it’s been a “global” year.
Right now, the multi-talented artist is one of Australia’s hottest young creative exports. And all her energies are focused on music.
Jessica’s story so far is a remarkable one. She grew up in Darwin, and became a national darling thanks to the platform of “Australian Idol’s” fourth season, back in 2006. Her debut 2008 album “Been Waiting” scored double platinum sales and yielded seven ARIA Award nominations. Jessica’s collaboration-crammed follow-up “Get ‘Em Girls” was a top 10 ARIA album and generated four multi-platinum selling singles.
Now, with more than 2million sales in Australia and a trophy cabinet full of awards, Jessica finds herself at the dizzying heights of pop stardom in her homeland. She got there through deftly climbing the ladder. It’s a difficult journey, navigated with immense talent, hard work and good instincts.
