Delta Lea Goodrem is a multi-ARIA Award winning Australian singer-songwriter, pianist and Logie Award winning actress.

Signed to Sony at the age of 15, Goodrem rose to prominence in 2002 as a result of her role in the Australian television series Neighbours. She has become one of Australia's highest selling recording artists, her albums Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity both entering the Australian charts at number one with multi-platinum sales. Goodrem has to date, achieved seven number one singles and in mid-2005, embarked on The Visualise Tour, her debut concert tour of Australia. In 2003, at the age of 18, amidst her blooming career, Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer. She has since made a full recovery.

Delta Goodrem is the best Australian export since Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia. While her brand of music is not exactly manly -- after all she does claim her inspiration comes from Cline Dion and Mariah Carey -- we can't help but have a look every time she comes on TV. A statuesque beauty with a figure that could put supermodels to shame and a face that belongs on magazine covers, Delta is destined for greatness. Not only does she have a terrific singing voice, but she also sells records by the truckload. In fact, her Innocent Eyes album made it to the top of the Australian charts for over 19 weeks. Her presence on the show Neighbours has made her quite popular in her homeland, and she looks forward to acting in other productions, even if she admits that music is her first love. She has aspirations of becoming an internationally renowned superstar and the girl's got all the necessary equipment to make it happen.
personality & talent

Some celebrities get jaded when fame is at their doorstep, and often have trouble adjusting. Luckily, stardom is still very new to Delta. As a result, she has remained a good-natured girl, just the way we like 'em. And she has made it. After all, her album has produced four major hits in one year. Her impressive talent has been recognized by some of the greatest writers and producers in the industry, like Ric Wake (who worked with Celine Dion, J.Lo, and Mariah Carey), David Nicholas (INXS and Elton John), and The Rembrandts (Friends theme song), who have all worked with her.

Whether she's singing onstage, doing a photo shoot, signing autographs, or simply hanging out, Delta always looks good. She can often be seen wearing jeans and a blouse, and she has a way of making these clothes appear classier. The fact that she has been in front of the camera for over a decade must help tremendously, having learned the tricks of the trade at a young age.
