Singer-songwriter Missy Higgins shot to fame when still in her teens. Her 2004 debut album the Sound of White sold a million copies and won five Aria Awards.

Twenty years on, Higgins’ lyrics have shifted from teenage to middle age angst, as she grapples with the unexpected collapse of her marriage and the challenges of becoming a single mother. Music, as always, has helped her through her darkest hour.
