Casey Donovan studied music at the Australian Institute of Music before becoming the youngest winner of Australian Idol, winning the second season at the age of 16.
Casey 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.
While riding the Australian Idol wave, Casey was one of Australia’s most in-demand entertainers, with regular appearances on television, radio and seen in print media across Australia.
Casey was also a star performer for many major events, including - Commonwealth Games, Woodfood Dreaming Festival and Foxtel’s 10th birthday.
After the hype of Australian Idol died down, Casey spent time re-evaluating her career and re-establishing herself as a solo independent artist, with the release of an independent EP Eye 2 Eye.
Now as a 21-year-old, Casey has re-emerged as one of Australia’s most promising Indigenous entertainers, with regular appearances on Vibe Alive tours and a segment on Deadly Sounds (which is syndicated across ABC Radio).
Casey made her theatrical debut in 2009 in the Rhoda Roberts production of Miracle in Brisbane for the Brisbane Festival.
In 2010, Casey will star alongside iconic Indigenous entertainer Christine Anu in Company B and Black Swan State Theatre Company’s national touring production of The Sapphires.
Casey will be performing at the Palais Theatre on Thursday March 25 2010. The concert starts at 2pm following the presentation of the Senior Citizen of the Year award.
