Kate Miller-Heidke

As a classically trained musician, the Australian singer/songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke brings unique flair to her music—including lilting, fragile singing on the graceful 2008 piano ballad “The Last Day On Earth” and whimsical vocal trills on the 2014 electro-pop jam “O Vertigo!” Born in Queensland in 1981, she studied classical voice and dabbled in opera before launching her solo pop career in 2004 with the EP Telegram. That release spawned a surprise hit, the meditative indie-pop song “Space They Cannot Touch,” setting the stage for her 2007 major-label debut, Little Eve, and the following year’s even bigger hit, the full-length Curiouser. Miller-Heidke relishes mixing the serious and playful: She performed on the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 and the following year released a new studio album, Child In Reverse, and appeared on The Masked Singer Australia.
