Casey Donovan, 2004

2004

    • WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons

    Casey Donovan was the youngest and first female winner of Australian Idol, winning the second season at the age of 16.

    Donovan is a multi-award winner and nominee, including an ARIA No 1 Award for Listen with Your Heart and Deadly Awards for Best Album, Best Single and Most Promising New Talent.

    After the hype of Australian Idol died down, Donovan re-established herself as a solo independent artist, and as one of Australia's most promising First Nations entertainers.

    She has since starred in the concept show Women of Soul, the stage production of The Sapphires in 2010, and The Mamas and the Papas stage musical in 2011 as Mama Cass.
