Casey Donovan is one of the best new talents to hit the Australian music scene for quite some time.
Casey was only 16 and still a student at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney, when she entered Australian Idol series 2 in 2004. Throughout the competition she perfomed brilliantly week after week and received great praise from all three judges. She went on to win and take out the title of Australian Idol 2004 in front of a packed audience at the Sydney Opera House, becoming the youngest ever to win an Idol competition and the first Australian female winner.
Casey then set about the gruelling process of recording an album in a matter of six days. In November 2004 the first single released from the album, "Listen With Your Heart", debuted at No.1 on the ARIA singles chart and had the highest selling download of all-time from Telstra’s bigpond downloads, while her album “For You” debuted at No.2 on the album charts. The second single "What's Going On?" debuted in the top 20, in February 2005. Casey then released a third single, “Flow”, in July 2005, but unfortunately didn’t gain a lot of air-play from radio stations.
In 2005 Casey was nominated for three Deadly awards winning two - for Best Album and Best Single. Previously Casey had won a Deadly for Most Promising New Talent in 2004. Also in 2005 Casey received two ARIA nominations for Best Album and Best single and was awarded an ARIA No.1 award for “Listen With Your Heart”.
Since the hype of Australian Idol has died down, Casey has been establishing herself as an artist in her own right, and has been enjoying successful gigs at various well known venues such as The Basement, and The Vanguard in Sydney, and the Grand Central Melbourne, for which she has been receiving rave reviews and standing ovations. Casey was also invited to Sing at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony and Queensland to perform at the Woodford Dreaming Festival, The Foxtel 10th Birthday Party and to Tasmainia to perform at the Putalina Music Festival. Casey has also made several television appearances on such shows as Channel V’s What You Want, MTV’s TRL, Good Morning Australia, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, John Foreman’s Big Night In, and Spicks and Specks, amongst others.
This vibrant young lady has great tone in her voice and when she infuses her personality she really shines. Casey has a lot of heart and soul and a unique ability to connect with her audience on a deeply emotional level.
Over the past several months Casey has been busy writing new material for her new E.P OUT NOW!
