Jessica Mauboy established herself as one of Australia’s biggest female pop stars when she was invited to perform for Oprah Winfrey and US President Barack Obama in 2011, not to mention having supported international superstars Beyonce, Flo Rida and Chris Brown before selling out a national headline tour in Australia. To date, Jessica has sold two million units in Australia and has achieved 10 x Top 20 multiple platinum selling ARIA singles. Her debut album ‘Been Waiting’ achieved double platinum sales and garnered Jessica seven ARIA Award nominations.  Her follow up album ‘Get ‘Em Girls’, was a top 10 ARIA album and spawned four multi platinum selling singles.
