Goodrem, who hailed from Glenhaven in Sydney's north western hills, loves performing. At age 5 she sung her first song, Olivia Newton-John's "Hopelessly Devoted To You" (from the movie "Grease"), on her father?s 40th birthday.
She started piano lessons at 8 years of age (she now plays the piano on barefoot, her trademark); singing school when she was 10, then went on to drama and dancing. She began writing songs at 12 and used the money she saved from television appearances to record her first demo CD at 13, then sent the CD to her friends and her parents' friends.
Knowing her passion for the Swans, friends sent Goodrem's CD to the club. |
