Noted for her soulful and powerful vocal style, singer-songwriter Kate Ceberano has won almost every entertainment award in Australia. She has released five Platinum albums, five Gold albums, selling in excess of 1 million albums in Australia alone, performed tours, acted in feature films and hosted her own television show.

Ceberano first came to prominence as lead vocalist at 15 years of age, for the funk band I'm Talking, which was managed by Ken West.

Ceberano won Best Female Vocalist (1985) at the Countdown Awards as well as Best Female Singer (1985) at the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) Awards. However after just one album, the group broke up and she went solo, with manager West soon replaced by Ceberano's mother Cherie.

Ceberano's first solo album was the live set Kate Ceberano and Her Septet (1987). Her following album You've Always Got The Blues (1988) earned her an ARIA Award for Best Female Artist (1988). One year later, she won another ARIA for Best Female Artist (1989) as well as one for Highest Selling Single (1989), which was "Bedroom Eyes". At the end of 1990, she received three prestigious Mo Awards for Jazz Performer, Female Rock Performer and Contemporary Concert Performer of the Year.

In 1996 Ceberano released her next solo album Blue Box, which went Gold and saw her nominated for another Best Female Artist ARIA. In 1997 she wrote and released Pash. It went Gold and establishing Ceberano as one of Australian's leading song-writers.
