Like many of our young Idols, Jessica Mauboy was born into boisterous family of singers who celebrated every occasion with song. If she wasn’t singing with her supportive and talented Aboriginal mum, Jessica was jamming with her Indonesian-born dad, and considering she also has 4 sisters, Jessica admits that her family’s house is the noisiest on the block! After winning a high profile country music competition at age 14, she was exposed to a welcoming Tamworth crowd. Now, 2 years on and more confident, Jessica is one of the most self-assured and mature teens to tackle the massive challenge of becoming an Australian Idol.
