Higgins began singing in her early teens, lying about her age to get into clubs to play with her brother's jazz combo. While still in high school, the popularity of a demo track "All For Believing" thrust her into the spotlight in 2001.

She was signed to Warner Bros. and shot to the top of the charts in Australia with a number of hit singles. Her first full full-length CD is entitled The Sound of White, and she has a number of EP-length CDs.
