Born in Malaysia, Lim and her family moved to Perth, Australia when she was 10 years old,[1] As a child she gained the attention of her father after singing in his karaoke lounge, seeing her talent.[1] She later started writing and producing her own music in her home studio.[2] Sir Charles Dixon discovered her talents,[1] after she uploaded some of her music onto Myspace[2] Dixon took her material to Virgin Records and Virgin flew Che'nelle to New York at the end of 2005 to meet with representatives from the label. The chairman of the label and longtime music business baron, Jason Flom, signed her immediately. Within two days, she had completed the deal and was marketed as a world-class artist.
