*Australian Singers/Bands*
Australia has so many famous and talented Bands, musicians, singers and song writers. Many of these people have started out small, and suddenly became huge! Kylie is an Australian pop singer-songwriter and occasional actress. She rose to prominence in the late 1980s through her role in the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987.
The Veronicas started out on a few TV shows, one of the most popular being "Cybergirl". On their 18th birthday Jessica received her first guitar, with this the girls began writing and singing songs. In 2004, after many demo recordings, they signed to a production deal.
