Description

In modern pop, Sarah Blasko is a rare beast. On the one hand, she is a fiercely-independent free spirit whose haunting music critics have run out of superlatives to describe. On the other, the 33 year old Australian is a multi-platinum selling star whose mantelpiece houses an ever increasing array of awards and who performed at the closing ceremony of Sydneys Commonwealth Games.

Sydney-born Blasko first found her voice singing with her mother in Pentecostal church and had a brief spell fronting bands whilst studying for a degree in English literature. Her real career began when she struck out solo in 2002. An early EP release was followed by 2004s platinum-selling, debut album, The Overture & the Underscore and 2007s nautically-themed, ARIA Award-winning successor, What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have. As Day Follows Night, voted Album Of The Year by Triple J, is Blaskos biggest seller and was nominated for a mighty five ARIAs (Blasko picked up Best Female), .
