Casey Donovan, is one of Australia’s greatest voices.

We first met her as a 16 year old on Australian Idol. Her audition grabbed us immediately, and she would go on to win the second series. Since then, she’s been a star on musical theatre stages, written a memoir, made podcasts, and become our official Queen of New Years – belting out the biggest songs on ABC TV’s big broadcast.

But what are the songs that have been guiding lights for her? That have led Casey through an extraordinary life, and filled her heart (and lungs) with inspiration? From Kasey Chambers to Human Nature to Mama Cass, this is a beautiful conversation about finding strength in music, and finding your own voice.
