Marie Wilson
Marie Wilson is undoubtedly Australia's next new singing sensation!!!. For the past two years Marie Wilson has been based in Melbourne and Los Angeles. It has been an intensive and challenging period where Marie has had the chance to work with internationally renowned songwriters and producers. And along the way, she has encountered some weird and wonderful situations!

In mid-1997 Marie was invited to attend an elite songwriters' workshop held in a 13th century French castle, owned by Sting and his manager Miles Copeland. Her stay at the castle was undoubtedly a highlight of her songwriting career, a chance to meet some famous people and collaborate with inspiring writers. Marie's first single "Next Time" was written at the Castle with Jim Vallance (Bryan Adams) and Mark Hudson (Aerosmith, Hanson). The trio hit it off so well, they later regrouped in LA, where they penned two more tracks "Won't Keep A Good Girl Down" and "Impossible", both on the upcoming album. During the LA writing session, Marie also got to meet one of her longtime idols, the legendary Carole King, and another pretty famous chap called Ringo Starr (Mark Hudson is producing Ringo's next album).
"The week at the Castle proved to be the turning point in my songwriting career. To have the opportunity to write with some of the world's best songwriters and to have so much fun doing it was incredible!" Marie says. With influences such as Crowded House, Indigo Girls and Bryan Adams, she can rock with the best of 'em, but she's not afraid to let those big vocals loose on a tender ballad. |

Judy Small - Australia's internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter sings songs of conscience, fun and love. Her performance is spiced with wit, humour, anger and compassion. Judy's musical roots are in the folk tradition, but she continually extends the boundaries, using blues, jazz, country, rock and even a taste of the classics to bring her own distinctive style to the music she performs. |

hear itKylie Minogue
 Kylie Minogue | The reinvention of Kylie Minogue is nearly complete. Nearly three years ago, the Kylie on the end of a phone from Singapore where she was taking a breather from Kylie album commitments and shopping, was rushed, forced, uncertain, the smile seemed skin deep, the confidence not-so-confident at all. That album marked the rebirth of a Kylie the world would have to come to accept and a Minogue that Kylie would have to grow into: it was a chance, a mixture of soaring big ballads and trademark dance beats kicked up a level from the kiddy-pop and techno that dominated her early years. In Confide In Me she had a ballad as yearning, aching and gorgeous as anything released that year. In Confide In Me she was for five minutes, at least, free and the potential stripped naked was a tease to the future. |
| The second track on Impossible Princess, the most important album in Kylie Minogue's life, perhaps says it all. If it isn't about the late Michael Hutchence, about whom she twinkles this day, paying her own special tribute to his effect on her then young and naieve pop star life, then it could be. A few weeks later Hutchence will take his life in a hotel just two blocks away from where we sit. Kylie will return for the funeral and appear poised and almost magical. As she walked by at the end of the service close behind her former lover's coffin you couldn't help but feel that Kylie understood the moment and Hutchence's actions better than anybody else. While she doesn't smile, she does... from iZINE |  |
| Ruby Hunter enjoys the distinction of being the first Aboriginal woman to record solo in the history of Australian music. Her debut album Thoughts Within, explores, as the name suggests, the contours of her deeply emotional interior life. See Aboriginal Bands |  |
