ARLAN HAMILTON: Missy Higgins

Since winning a popular radio station’s songwriting contest in Australia just a few years ago, Missy Higgins has gone from undiscovered teenage musician to one of her nation’s biggest selling artists of all time.

I adore Missy Higgins. I've seen her in concert three times and met her at the most recent one. She's a total sweetheart in person.
