Who is Australia's Eurovision entry Kate Miller-Heidke? Zero Gravity singer a hot tip

It does still seem rather random that Australia are even part of the Eurovision Song Contest but you can't deny that they have given it their all since being first allowed to compete in 2015.

They so very nearly won the whole thing in 2016 but Dami Im's Sound of Silence was just pipped at the post by Ukraine.

Last year they didn't fare quite so well with Jessica Mauboy's We Got Love but they are back in style for Eurovision 2019 with a very unconventional but memorable song.

And the act representing them this year is Kate Miller-Heidke, who is very high up in the current Eurovision odds and very well placed in the Eurovision 2019 final running order: Which country will sing when on Saturday after making it through Tuesday's first semi final.

Who is Australia's Eurovision entry Kate Miller-Heidke?

According to the official Eurovision website , Kate is an award-winning singer-songwriter who traverses the worlds of contemporary pop, folk and opera.

She has released four studio albums in Australia, achieving multi-platinum status and appearing in the top 10 album and singles charts numerous times.

Her most recent album 'O Vertigo!' debuted at number four on the Australian album charts, broke Australian crowdfunding records and was nominated for an ARIA Award.

Kate won Australia's first ever Eurovision selection contest earlier this year, topping both the public and jury votes.
