Casey Donovan was the youngest person to win the Australian Idol competition. She won the competition at 16 while still a student at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney, Australia. She comes from a family of musicians, with several of her relatives pursuing musical careers, including her father, a member of indigenous country band The Donovan’s.
Casey won the second season of Australian Idol in 2004. While Donovan performed well throughout the Australian Idol competition, receiving effusive praise from all three judges, she was not widely considered a favourite to win.
During the competition, she received some outside success, winning the Most Promising New Talent Award at the 2004 The Deadlys, which honor indigenous talent in Australia.
Nevertheless, she surprised many by first making it to the final at the expense of Courtney Murphy, and then defeating widespread favourite Anthony Callea in the final. Her first single, "Listen With Your Heart" was released digitally on November 21, 2004 and officially in stores on November 29 2004. It debuted at #1 on the ARIA singles chart, while her album For You debuted at #2 on the album charts. Her second single "What's Going On?" debuted in the top 20 in February 2005. Her third single "Flow" was released on July 24 2005 but only managed to reach #51.
In just 12 months, Casey has won Australian Idol, three Deadly awards (Most Promising New Talent 2004, best album and best single 2005), received two ARIA nominations (best album, best single), had a #1 debut single and #2 debut album, and holds the record for fastest download of a single on Telstra's Bigpond.
While Callea has been afforded more support, Casey has been busy building her fan base with small intimate gigs at venues such as The Basement (with Wendy Matthews) and The Vanguard, as well as a residency at the Sandringham Hotel. Travelled interstate for her first solo gig in Melbourne held at the Grand Central receiving rave reviews. On March 26 2006, she performed at the Closing Ceremony for the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
Casey has spent much of the time this year writing, as well as collaborating with respected Australian song-writers for new material for her long awaited E.P which is OUT NOW.
