Jessica Hilda Mauboy[1] (born 4 August 1989) is an Australian R&B and pop singer, songwriter, and actress. Born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory, Mauboy rose to fame in 2006 on the fourth season of Australian Idol; she became the runner-up and subsequently signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia. After releasing a live album of her Idol performances and briefly being a member of the girl group Young Divas in 2007, Mauboy released her debut studio album, Been Waiting, the following year. It earned Mauboy her first number-one single "Burn", became the second highest-selling Australian album of 2009,[2] and was certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Mauboy's second studio album, Get 'Em Girls (2010), showcased a more hard-edged R&B sound than her previous release, and produced four platinum singles. Her third studio album, Beautiful (2013), which explored a mixture of dance-oriented tracks with R&B and pop, included the top-ten hits "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)", "Never Be the Same" and "Can I Get a Moment?". Aside from her music career, Mauboy has also ventured into acting, with starring roles in films Bran Nue Dae (2010) and The Sapphires (2012), which earned her the AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She returned to acting in 2016, playing the lead role in the television drama series The Secret Daughter. It is Mauboy's first major TV role and was written especially for her. Mauboy released an accompanying soundtrack album for The Secret Daughter, which made her the first Indigenous artist to achieve a number-one album on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Mauboy is one of Australia's most successful female artists.[3][4] She has achieved four top-ten albums (including a number-one) and 15 top-twenty singles (including nine top-ten hits). She has won two ARIA Music Awards from 18 nominations, and was ranked sixteenth on the Herald Sun's list of the "100 Greatest Australian Singers of All Time".[5] Mauboy has collaborated with several international artists such as Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Jay Sean, and Pitbull. She has also toured with Beyoncé and Chris Brown, and performed at many notable events, including the Australian visits for Oprah Winfrey and US President Barack Obama. Mauboy was the first artist to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014, and also the first solo artist from outside Europe to perform as a guest.

Early life

Jessica Hilda Mauboy was born on 4 August 1989 and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory.[6] Her father, Ferdy, is an Indonesian born electrician who came from East Timor,[7][8] and her mother, Therese, is an Indigenous Australian.[8][9][10][11] Mauboy's mother is from the indigenous Kuku Yalanji people in the rainforest regions of Far North Queensland.[12][13][14] Mauboy has three older sisters Sandra, Jenny and Catherine, and a younger sister Sophia.[7] From an early age, she was involved in the local church choir with her grandmother Harriett.[10][15][16] Her home was described as the "noisiest house on the block", with her mother often singing, her father playing guitar and the rest of the family displaying their passion for music.[10] Mauboy attended Wulagi Primary School and Sanderson High School in Darwin.[17][18] She dropped out of school in year 11.[7]

At the age of fourteen, Mauboy's talents were exposed through the Telstra Road to Tamworth competition at the 2004 Tamworth Country Music Festival in Tamworth, New South Wales.[19] As the first winner of the competition, Mauboy travelled to Sydney to perform[10] and scored a recording deal with Sony Music Australia.[6] She then released a country-inspired rendition of the Cyndi Lauper hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".[6] A video for her version of the song had a release;[20] however, the song went nowhere and Mauboy returned to Darwin.[6]

Music career

2006: Australian Idol

Mauboy with Damien Leith at the Australian Idol grand finale

In 2006, Mauboy auditioned for the fourth season of Australian Idol in Alice Springs, Northern Territory singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing".[15] Her audition impressed all three judges, and she progressed through to the semi-finals.[15] Following the semi-final process, Mauboy had advanced through to the top twelve. The media cited her previous Sony contract as grounds for dismissal, but since the contract had expired, Australian Idol producers refused to remove her from the show.[6] Throughout the series, Mauboy continued to impress the judges with her performances. In the final eleven week, following her rendition of Kelly Clarkson's "Walk Away", judge Kyle Sandilands commented on Mauboy's weight, that if she wished to succeed in the music industry, she should "lose the jelly belly".[21] Mauboy appeared stunned by the comment.[21] In an interview with Who magazine's Alicia Neil, two years after the comment was made, Mauboy stated "I kind of took it as a joke ... I look back on it as a positive thing – it made me a stronger person."[22]

In the final ten-week, Mauboy received the first touchdown of the season from judge Mark Holden for her rendition of Christina Aguilera's hit, "Beautiful".[1] During the final nine-week, Mauboy had a sore throat that resulted in a mediocre rendition of Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise" and near-elimination, which landed her in the bottom three.[6] Following that week, she never landed in the bottom three again, and ended up progressing through to the final show with Damien Leith.[23] The grand finale was held on 27 November at the Sydney Opera House.[11] After the viewer votes had been tallied it was announced that Mauboy was runner-up to Leith.[24] In December 2006, Mauboy signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia – two weeks after Idol ended.[25]

2007–09: The Journey, Young Divas and Been Waiting

Mauboy released her debut live album The Journey on 24 February 2007, which contained two discs.[26] Disc one contained re-recorded covers of the selected songs Mauboy performed as part of the top twelve on Australian Idol, while disc two included a DVD of her performances on the series.[26] The Journey debuted at number four on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments of 35,000 units.[27][28] In September 2007, Mauboy joined as the new member of the girl group Young Divas, replacing one of the group's original members, Ricki-Lee Coulter, who had left in June to resume her solo career.[29] Their second studio album New Attitude was released on 24 November 2007,[30] and debuted at number 10 and was certified gold.[28][31] The album was preceded by the lead single "Turn Me Loose", which peaked at number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[31][32] In March 2008, Mauboy signed on to the Australian Government In2Oz program, designed to promote closer ties with Indonesia.[33] As a part of the program, she travelled to Indonesia for a three-day trip performing around the country, including an appearance on Indonesian Idol.[34] It was during this time that Mauboy had begun to work on her first solo studio album.[34] In August 2008, Mauboy announced that after a year with the Young Divas, she had decided to quit in order to concentrate on her solo career.[35] Founding member Paulini had also decided to depart, leaving Kate DeAraugo and Emily Williams as the only remaining members.[35] However, both DeAraugo and Williams resumed their solo careers, and the group officially disbanded.

Mauboy's debut studio album Been Waiting was released on 22 November 2008; it peaked at number 11 and was certified double platinum for shipments of 140,000 units.[27][36][37] Mauboy co-wrote eleven of the album's songs, which were produced by Audius Mtawarira, Israel Cruz, Jonas Jeberg, Cutfather, Adam Reily, Fingaz and Kwamé.[38] The album received positive reviews from critics. Davey Boy of Sputnikmusic gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that it was an "impressive debut which suggests that there could indeed be quality music to look forward to in the future as she matures and gains experience".[39] The lead single "Running Back", featuring American rapper Flo Rida, peaked at number three and was certified double platinum.[27][40] The second single, "Burn", became Mauboy's first number-one single, and was certified platinum.[27][41] It also reached number 92 on the Japan Hot 100 and became Mauboy's first single to chart internationally.[42] The album's third single and title track peaked at number 12 and was certified gold.[27][41] The following singles, "Because" and "Up/Down", peaked at numbers nine and 11, respectively,[27] and both were certified gold.[41]

In February 2009, Mauboy signed with UK record label Ministry of Sound.[43] Been Waiting was released in Japan on 22 April 2009,[44] and reached number 138 on the Japanese Albums Chart.[45] At the 2009 Deadly Awards, Mauboy won three awards in the categories of Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Been Waiting, and Single Release of the Year for "Burn".[46] Along with Flo Rida, Mauboy served as a support act for Beyoncé on the Australian leg of her I Am... World Tour in September 2009.[47] At the 2009 ARIA Music Awards, Mauboy earned seven nominations for Been Waiting and its singles; she was nominated for Highest Selling Album, Best Pop Release, Breakthrough Artist Album, Best Female Artist, Breakthrough Artist Single for "Running Back", and Highest Selling Single for "Running Back" and "Burn".[48] Eventually, Mauboy won Highest Selling Single for "Running Back".[49]

2010–12: Get 'Em Girls and The Sapphires soundtrack

In January 2010, Mauboy signed to Universal Music for an exclusive worldwide long-term publishing agreement.[50] In May 2010, Mauboy collaborated with four other international artists representing their continents—Sean Kingston representing America, Jody Williams representing Africa, Tabitha Nauser (Asia), Steve Appleton (Europe), with Mauboy representing Oceania—on the theme song for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics titled "Everyone". Mauboy, Williams, Nauser and Appleton performed "Everyone" at the opening of the Youth Olympics held in Singapore on 14 August 2010.[51] Kingston was unable to attend the performance, due to a passport mix-up.[52] Mauboy released her second studio album Get 'Em Girls on 5 November 2010; it debuted at number six and was certified gold.[27][53][54] She had travelled to the United States in February of that year to work on the album in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta with American songwriters and producers, most of whom she had not worked with previously.[9] Mauboy co-wrote eight of the album's songs.[55] Get 'Em Girls received mixed reviews from critics. Majhid Heath of ABC Online Indigenous gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars, writing that it's a "non-cohesive mess of similar sounding, auto-tuned ravaged pop/R&B that diminishes the talent of this brilliant young songstress".[56]

Mauboy performing in 2012

The album's title track, featuring American rapper Snoop Dogg, peaked at number 19.[27][57] Mauboy performed "Get 'Em Girls" at the 2010 Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards, where she co-hosted the award ceremony with Liam Hemsworth and Jerry Trainor, and won the award for Fave Aussie Muso.[58][59] The following singles, "Saturday Night" featuring American rapper Ludacris and "What Happened to Us" featuring English singer Jay Sean, peaked at numbers seven and 14, respectively.[27] The former single was certified double platinum while the latter was only certified platinum.[60] At the 2010 Australian of the Year Awards, Mauboy received her first nomination for Young Australian of the Year.[61] On 10 December 2010, she performed in front of an audience of 92,000 at the Federation Square in Melbourne, ahead of Oprah Winfrey's visit to the place.[62] Mauboy's performance was shown in the first of the four Australian specials of The Oprah Winfrey Show on 18 January 2011.[63][64] In April 2011, she served as a support act for Chris Brown's Australian leg of his F.A.M.E.

It's more of a rhythmic pop so it's not going to be extreme pop. It's going to be a little bit more soul."[101] The album's lead single "This Ain't Love" was released in September 2015; it peaked at number five and was certified gold.[27][102][103] Mauboy along with The Veronicas and Tina Arena performed Arena's 1994 single "Chains" at the 2015 ARIA Music Awards, where Arena was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.[104] Their version was released as a single following the performance, and peaked at number 14.[27][105]

Personal life

In late 2008, Mauboy moved from Darwin to Sydney, ahead of the release of her debut studio album Been Waiting.[114][115] In January 2009, she began a long-distance relationship with Themeli "Magoo" Magripilis, a soccer player and council worker of Greek descent, who was born and raised in Darwin.[116][117][118] Magripilis played for the Darwin soccer league's club Hellenic Athletic, the same club that Mauboy's younger sister Sophie played for.[117][119] Mauboy and Magripilis do not see each other often, as she is based in Sydney and he still lives in Darwin.[116][120] When she is not working, Mauboy returns to Darwin to spend time with her family and Magripilis.[121][122][123]

Artistry

Music and songwriting

Mauboy's music is generally R&B and pop,[124][125] but she also incorporates dance, funk, soul and hip hop into some of her songs.[114][126][127] Mauboy's debut studio album Been Waiting (2008) was described as "a blend of electro beats, heartfelt pop tunes and R&B bass lines."[128] Most of the themes on the album dealt with boys, love and break-ups, everyday life, family issues, and friendship.[128][129] Alasdair Duncan from Rave magazine described Mauboy's second studio album Get 'Em Girls (2010) as "a more hard-edged take on R&B and pop than her debut, pumped full of hip hop beats, jagged synths and futuristic vocal effects."[124] Mauboy said that she wanted each song on the album to talk about a "woman's needs", and that the album's theme was "very much about the empowerment of women and the domination of women."[130] Kylie Northover of The Sydney Morning Herald noted that Mauboy's third studio album Beautiful (2013) featured "a mix of more dance-oriented tunes and her usual R&B sound".[114]

Mauboy has also incorporated her Indigenous Australian culture into her music, including songs on the soundtrack album for The Sapphires and in the single "Sea of Flags".[92][131][132] Aside from her vocals work, Mauboy can also play the piano and has co-written some of her material.[8] She co-wrote eleven songs on her first studio album,[38] eight on her second studio album, and fourteen on her third studio album.[133] In 2010, Mauboy was nominated for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year at the APRA Awards.[134] Mauboy stated in an interview that while working with American producer Harvey Mason, Jr., they came up with the melodies and hooks for the songs "Fight for You" and "Here for Me" on the album Get 'Em Girls.[130] She also experimented with an operatic-type voice on her song "Scariest Part".[130]

Influences

Mauboy grew up listening to country singers Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Slim Dusty,[20][135] as well as rappers Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.[136] Mauboy cites Mariah Carey as her main influence and inspiration, stating that she has "drawn a lot of inspiration from watching and listening to her live performances".[135][137][138] She grew up listening to many of Carey's songs and was inspired by her vocal style and songwriting, "I loved 'Dreamlover' and 'Fantasy' – and picked up loads of tips from her style of singing. She taught me that the lyrics you write have to come from personal experiences – I really felt her music. Now I aspire to writing honest lyrics with real feelings that people can relate to."[139] Mauboy also names Whitney Houston as another influence, stating that she looks up to her and Carey "for their outstanding vocal performances".[130] Her other musical influences are John Farnham and Beyoncé.[137][140][141] Mauboy is also inspired by fellow Indigenous Australian women such as Olympic gold medalist Cathy Freeman and actress Deborah Mailman.[141][142]

Public image

Mauboy is known for her good girl image[143] and is considered a role model to young girls and Indigenous communities in Australia.[144][145][146] Ed Gibbs of The Sydney Morning Herald described her as a "wholesome girl-next-door",[147] while Genevieve Rosen of The Vine wrote that "her flawless public image is no farce. Humble, genuinely engaging and passionate about public service, Mauboy, put simply, is really nice".[148] Anna Byrne of the Herald Sun observed, "It's clear this endearing unpretentiousness is not a fame facade. In every respect, the pint-sized pop star embodies one of the most elusive qualities of stardom: relatability. It's this genuineness that has seen her star ascend to where she actually is."[149] Fashion has influenced Mauboy's music career and image. Byrne noted that her "fashion choices have mirrored her rise in fame, with her style evolving from shy schoolgirl to confident diva, set to steal the sartorial spotlight."[149] Mauboy cites Jennifer Lopez as her style icon.[139] She has worn dresses designed by Dolce & Gabbana, J'Aton, Steven Khalil and Toni Matičevski,[149] and has appeared on the covers of fashion magazines in Australia, including Elle,[150] InStyle,[151] and Marie Claire.[152] In November 2012, she appeared on the cover of Who magazine as one of their "Sexiest People of 2012".[153]

Mauboy's weight has been the subject of media interest, ever since her rise to fame on Australian Idol when judge Kyle Sandilands publicly told her to "lose the jelly belly".[154][155] Mauboy told Women's Health magazine that she was proud of her curvy figure, saying "having curves is one of my favourite things".[156] In 2014, she received media attention for her weight loss transformation from a size 12 to 8.[157] Mauboy has an alter ego named J Malley, who she described as her "fearless side" and "sort of like Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce".[158] Mauboy is often referred to as Australia's answer to Beyoncé.[158][159][160] However, she does not agree with the comparisons, saying "I totally disagree with that one. I've...watched her documentary [Life Is But a Dream] and was just blown away by how magnificent she really is and it's so inspiring for me. I just think she's fantastic and I'm completely nowhere near where she is, but I aspire to that."[161]

With the release of Mauboy's second studio album Get 'Em Girls, some critics felt that she was becoming an "R&B sexpot".[147][162] Both the album and its title track also received negative reviews from critics.[56][163][164] The music video for the title track was heavily criticised by fans who felt that Mauboy had become too sexy and moved away from her good girl image.[143] Speaking of Mauboy's image for R&B music, Fairfax Media journalist Bernard Zuel said: "It's a problem, matching the personality to a formula. The formula with young women singing modern R&B is that they have to be out there sexually, thrusting physically and vocally. But that's just not who she is."[147] Following the release of her single "Gotcha" in 2012, Miranda Cashin of Sunshine Coast Daily noted that it was "a return to the Mauboy [we knew] before the infamous 2010 sexed-up fist-pumping album, Get 'Em Girls".[162]

She is an ambassador for the Sony Foundation, which raises funds for youth-related causes.[194] As an ambassador for the Foundation, Mauboy has made several hospital visits and performed at many of their annual fundraising events such as Wharf4Ward, which raises funds to build specialised youth cancer centres across Australia.[194][195][196] In April 2009, sales from the nail polish bottles Mauboy created with Bloom Cosmetics were donated to Children's Hospital Foundations Australia to support the research into childhood illness.[183] Mauboy has performed at several other fundraising events including charity balls,[197][198] charity dinners,[199][200] Christmas carols events,[201] and telethons.[202] For many years, Mauboy has performed at the annual Channel Seven Perth Telethon.[203][204] In December 2011, she performed free acoustic concerts across Australia as part of the Indian Pacific Outback Christmas train journey, an annual fund-raiser for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.[205] On 14 December 2012, she performed a free pop up show at Federation Square in Melbourne, as part of the Optus Carols for a Cause event, which raised funds for Kids Helpline and The Smith Family.[206] Mauboy headlined the Come Together charity concert in Ulverstone, Tasmania on 19 May 2013, in aid of two boys who were burnt in an explosion. All proceeds from the concert went into a trust fund for the boys' ongoing treatment.[207][208]

Mauboy has also contributed to Indigenous organisations aimed at improving children's education.[209][210] In 2009, she became a spokesperson for the Indigenous Literacy Project (ILP), which aims to provide "books and learning materials to schools, libraries and women's centres in remote areas." As spokesperson for the charity, Mauboy visited schools across Australia and talked to students about the importance of education.[211] In 2011, she worked with the Yalari organisation "that offers children from regional, rural and remote communities and towns across Australia the opportunity to get a first-class secondary education."[210] In 2013, Mauboy was appointed as the ambassador of the independent Aboriginal Yipirinya School in Alice Springs.[114][212] Along with making several visits to the school, Mauboy has helped promote the school and assist with its fundraisings.[212][213] In August 2015, she became an ambassador for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which raises support and awareness of literacy in remote indigenous communities.[214] Her songs have been included on charity compilation albums such as Bushfire Aid: Artists for the Bushfire Appeal (2009),[215] Spirit of Christmas (2009),[216] and Flood Relief – Artists for the Flood Appeal (2011).[217] Mauboy along with Guy Sebastian, Sheppard, Jon Stevens, Shannon Noll and Megan Washington were featured on Lee Kernaghan's 2015 charity single "Spirit of the Anzacs", which raised funds for Legacy and Soldier On.[218]
