September 21st 2006 07:05
Kasey Chambers (born: June 4, 1976) is Australia's most popular country music performer with three successive albums reaching number one on the Australian album charts in 2002, 2004 and 2006.
Shortly after her birth, her parents Bill Chambers and Diane Chambers took her and her older brother Nash Chambers to the Nullarbor Plain where they earned a living hunting foxes. In the heat of an outback summer, the Chambers family would stay in a small South Australian fishing village. While in the Nullarbor, the Chambers family sang country music songs each night around the campfire.
In 1986, the family formed the Dead Ringer Band with Bill and Diane as the initial members and Kasey and Nash joining the band a year later. By 1992, the band had become full time musicians with Bill Chambers writing many of the band's songs. The Dead Ringer band broke up in 1998 but they collectively earned two ARIA awards and seven Golden Guitars during their career. It was at this time that Kasey started her solo career.
Kasey Chamber's second album "Barricades & Brickwalls" was her breakthrough with the lead single "Not Pretty Enough" going double platinum and the album itself 7x platinum. Chambers had the best selling single and album by an Australian artist in 2002. In the 2002 ARIA Awards, Chambers won "Album of the Year", "Best Female Artist" and "Best Country Album".
Kasey's third album "Wayward Angel", and the recently released "Carnival" also made it to #1 on the Australian charts.
