In 2001, Higgins won the national Unearthed radio competition for unsigned artists with her song "All for Believing" and shortly after signed a recording contract with Eleven.[1] The following year she signed an international contract with Warner Bros.[2] She released a self-titled EP in November 2003.[3] Her debut album The Sound of White was released 6 September 2004; it reached No. 1 on the Australian albums chart[4] and was certified platinum nine times by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).[5] It contained the singles "Scar", "Ten Days", "The Special Two" and "The Sound of White".

Higgins' second album On a Clear Night was released 28 April 2007.[6] Like its predecessor, it reached No. 1 on the Australian albums chart[4] and was certified platinum three times by ARIA.[7] On a Clear Night produced three singles—"Steer", "Where I Stood" and "Peachy".
