Jessica
Biography
Jessica was the runner up of the 2006 season of
Australian Idol. She was born in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia
and at the age of fourteen won a singing competition and was awarded a
recording contract. This was an issue with some sections of
the media when she entered the Australian Idol competition. However,
the Australian Idol organisers pointed out that she was no longer in
contract and therefore they had no issues with her entering the
competition.
Jessica gave some excellent performances during the competition and
since leaving Australian Idol, released an album of the songs performed
on the show. The album did well in the charts achieving a top ten
position. In 2007 she became a member of the Australian multi-platinum
selling girl group, Young Divas. In 2008 Jessica released her second
solo Album titled ‘Been Waiting’. The album was hugely successful
reaching platinum status and featured four hit singles.
