Life and career

1984–2000: Early life, education, and discovery

edit

Delta Lea Goodrem was born in Sydney on 9 November 1984,[5][6] to Lea (née Parker) and Denis Goodrem.[7][8] She has a younger brother, Trent.[9]

Goodrem appeared in an American advertisement aged seven for the former toy company Galoob, alongside fellow Australian Bec Hewitt,[10] and began playing piano at the same age while taking up singing, dancing and acting lessons. She appeared in adverts for companies such as Optus and Nesquik, and had several minor roles in episodes of Australian television shows including Hey Dad..!, A Country Practice, and Police Rescue.[11]

While residing in Glenhaven, she attended the Hills Grammar School in neighbouring Kenthurst, from kindergarten until Year 11.[12]

At the age of thirteen, Goodrem recorded a five-song demo CD, financed through her television work.[13] It was sent to the Australian rules football club Sydney Swans (of which Goodrem is a supporter) and they passed it onto talent manager Glenn Wheatley.[14][15] Wheatley signed Goodrem to an artist development deal with independent record label, Empire Records.[16]

Between June 1999 and September 2000, Goodrem worked with producers Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter on thirteen tracks for an album to be called Delta.[15] A later report on these sessions described Goodrem as "an ambitious 15-year-old keen to emulate the pop sound of the Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Mandy Moore."[17] Most of the tracks were written by Carter, although Goodrem co-wrote two and self-wrote the song "Love". Goodrem did a photoshoot for the album (some of the photos have surfaced), and recorded a home-made style music video for the song "Say" which has since leaked onto the internet.[18] Higgins took the album to Village Roadshow, which offered to market and distribute the album, but the deal was blocked by Goodrem's parents. The album has yet to surface, though it became the subject of a lawsuit in 2004.[16]

At the age of 15, Goodrem signed a recording contract with Sony Music[19] and began work on an album of pop–dance songs including the unsuccessful debut single, "I Don't Care", which peaked at number sixty four on the ARIA Singles Chart in November 2001.[15] The album and proposed second single "A Year Ago Today" were pushed aside as a result, allowing Goodrem and Sony to re-evaluate her future musical direction. In 2002, Goodrem took up the role as shy school girl and aspiring singer Nina Tucker in the popular television soap opera Neighbours, which helped re-launch Goodrem's music career.[20][21] The piano-based ballad "Born to Try", co-written by Audius Mtawarira, premiered on the show and reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and the New Zealand singles chart, and number three in the UK. "Born to Try" was certified triple Platinum in Australia for sales of over 210,000 copies.[22] Goodrem's role on the show scored her a Logie for "Most Popular New Talent" at the Logie Awards of 2003.[23] In January 2003, "Lost Without You" topped the ARIA Singles Chart and reached number four in New Zealand and the UK. it was certified double platinum for sales over 140,000 copies in Australia.[22]

Goodrem's largely self-penned debut studio album, Innocent Eyes, was released on 24 March 2003 in Australia and debuted at number one on the ARIA Album Charts, breaking Australian records previously held by John Farnham's Whispering Jack (1986) by staying at number one for 29 consecutive weeks, while tying with Neil Diamond's Hot August Night (1972) as the second-longest charting number one album with a total of 29 weeks at top spot. It was the highest-selling album in Australia of 2003[24] and sold 1.2 million copies in Australia, and over 4 million worldwide.[25] The album also charted highly in the UK, peaking at number two. The album's third single "Innocent Eyes" again reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and number nine in the UK. It was certified Platinum in Australia for sales over 70,000 copies.[22]

On 8 July 2003, at the age of 18, Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, an uncommon cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.[26] She was forced to put all working commitments on hold while undertaking treatment for the disease. In an exclusive interview with The Australian Women's Weekly, Goodrem revealed that, since 2002, she had suffered from a head-to-toe rash, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, and a lump on her neck.[27] "I was doing sit-ups when I felt something pop in my neck. I reached down and I felt a small lump at the base of my throat. It wasn't sore, it wasn't visible, but I could feel it."[27] As part of her treatment, Goodrem undertook chemotherapy, which resulted in the loss of her hair, and radiation therapy.[27] The news of her diagnosis made newspaper and television headlines and an outpouring of support was shown by fans and the general public alike. Goodrem thanked them during The Visualise Tour for all the letters and well wishes she received.

The album's fourth single, "Not Me, Not I", was released following the announcement Goodrem had been diagnosed with cancer. It became her fourth consecutive number one single in Australia, overtaking the previous effort of three number-ones from Kylie Minogue's debut studio album, Kylie (1988).[28] It was certified Platinum for sales over 70,000 copies.[22] In early August, Goodrem announced she would not renew her contract with Glenn Wheatley. Her mother, Lea Goodrem, replaced him as her manager.[29] Later that month, Goodrem won seven ARIA Music Awards, including "Best Female Artist", surpassing Natalie Imbruglia's previous record of six awards in 1999.[30] As she was too unwell to perform at the ceremony herself, singer Darren Hayes performed a rendition of "Lost Without You" as a tribute, bringing an overwhelmed Goodrem to tears. Her first full-length DVD Delta became the highest-selling music DVD by an Australian artist in Australia ever, with a certification of 11× platinum.[31] The Australian-only release "Predictable" became her fifth consecutive number one on the ARIA Singles Chart in December and was certified double Platinum for sales of over 140,000 copies.[22]

2004–2006: Mistaken Identity and The Visualise Tour

edit

After announcing in late December 2003 that she was in remission, Goodrem began work on her second studio album. Goodrem received two nominations at the Logie Awards of 2004 including a Gold Logie nomination for "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television".

In March 2004, while Goodrem was still undergoing cancer treatment, Paul Higgins and Trevor Carter announced plans to release the album they had recorded with the then 15-year-old Goodrem in 1999 and 2000. They shopped the album around and ignited a bidding war amongst record companies.[17] After the success of Innocent Eyes, industry experts expected that bidding for the album could attract figures anywhere between $1.5 million and $15 million.[32] When Goodrem and her family disapproved of the album's release, a lawsuit was filed. Goodrem's lawyers claimed the album was made up of unfinished demo recordings which were not fit for commercial release.[32] After much coverage in the media, the case was settled in mediation. In exchange for not releasing the album, Higgins and Carter received an unspecified payout.[15]

In September 2004, she became the face of soft drink company Pepsi in Australia, appearing on the product, billboards, TV advertisements and performing an exclusive show for competition winners.[33][34] In October Goodrem launched her own lingerie line titled "Delta by Annabella".[35]

Goodrem's second studio album, Mistaken Identity, was released in Australia on 8 November 2004 and debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums chart. It was certified five times platinum for sales of 350,000 copies.[36] The album spent 46 weeks in the top fifty. It also reached number seven in New Zealand, and peaked at number 25 in the UK. The album's lead single, "Out of the Blue", which was co-written and produced by Guy Chambers, was released prior to the album on 8 October 2004. "Out of the Blue" debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and number nine in the UK. This was Goodrem's sixth straight number-one single in Australia. It was certified platinum in Australia.[37]

The second single, "Mistaken Identity", released as a single only in Australia, debuted at number seven and was certified Gold.[38] "Almost Here", a duet with Irish singer and then boyfriend Brian McFadden of Westlife, was released as the third single and reached number three in the UK and became her seventh ARIA number one, along with her first number one in Ireland. It was certified platinum in Australia.[38] "A Little Too Late" was released only in Australia and peaked at number 13. "Be Strong" was released as the album's fifth and final single in Australia as a digital download on 17 October 2005. At the time of release, digital downloads were not included as part of the main singles chart, therefore it was ineligible to chart. Much of the album, in particular "Extraordinary Day", was inspired by her battle with cancer.[18] Reflecting on that period of her life, Goodrem said "It's weird to see pictures of that time. In some ways the fact that I was so sick was so out there, and yet I kept it really private. No-one saw me on the days I was really sick. I was 18 when I was diagnosed and I had a number one album and single in the country. And in the UK, I was number two. It was such a bipolar year".[39][40]

In March 2005, Goodrem starred in her first film role in Hating Alison Ashley, a film based on the 1984 children's novel by Robin Klein, with Goodrem acting the title character. The film performed poorly at the box office and was not a critical success, with some critics citing Goodrem's performance as too robotic and detached.[41] April 2005 saw Goodrem relocate to New York to launch her career in the United States with a reworked version of "Lost Without You". She appeared in the last two episodes of the short-lived American series North Shore in a bid to gain greater exposure. "Lost Without You" proved to be modestly successful, peaking at number eighteen on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, but Goodrem was reportedly dissatisfied with its performance. Plans to release a hybrid of her first two studio albums were later terminated and Goodrem put America on hold. In July, Goodrem embarked on her first headline concert tour of Australia, The Visualise Tour. Ticket prices, $99 each, came under criticism for being higher than most international acts touring Australia at the time and this initially led to slow sales.[42] By the time the tour took place, 80,000 tickets had been sold across the ten shows.[43] The Visualise Tour: Live in Concert was released in November and became Goodrem's second No. 1 DVD.

On 15 March 2006, Goodrem performed a new song, "Together We Are One", at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in front of 80,000 spectators and up to 1.5 billion television viewers worldwide. The song, written specifically for the event, was released in Australia, where it peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart.[44] It was performed by the Top 5 contestants on season five of American Idol. In June 2006, Goodrem signed to Modest! Entertainment for her worldwide management.[45] In October 2006, Goodrem promoted in Japan with the release of an updated version of Innocent Eyes and the Japan-only single "Flawed", which reached number one on the Japanese download chart. The album peaked at number eight on the Japanese international chart (excluding Japanese artists) and number nineteen on the official Japanese album chart (including Japanese artists). In November, Goodrem appeared with Westlife on the British reality television music competition series The X Factor to perform a duet titled "All Out of Love", which appeared on the boy band's seventh studio album, The Love Album. She was in Melbourne on Christmas Eve to headline the annual Carols by Candlelight.[46]

Goodrem's third studio album, the eponymous Delta, was released in Australia on 20 October 2007. Goodrem described the material as "...a lot lighter" compared to her previous album Mistaken Identity.[47] She has also stated, "As people become more aware of your life, they can pinpoint what songs are about. On this album, I've tried to remove a lot of that and just write great pop songs, songs that are from my heart but there's no baggage with them".[48][49] The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart, making it her third number one album in her home country.[21] and received platinum certification for shipments of 70,000 records, though sales were much lower; only 23,000 copies were sold during the first week.

edit

Goodrem made her return to television on the 2017 comedy drama series House Husbands.[112] In 2017, she became the V8 Supercars Australia ambassador, promoting the sport and being the official performer at the racing events throughout the year.[113][114]

In 2017, an advertisement for Apple Music featuring Goodrem was criticised by the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) for promoting unsafe driving. Complaints about the video to the bureau stated that it "does not promote safe driving" and features Goodrem placing her head and arms outside a moving a vehicle and "moving around in a motor vehicle with no clearly visible safety belt". In response to the complaints, Apple Inc. said that it felt "confident" that the advertisement did not breach the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Advertiser Code of Ethics standards and saw no issues relating to car safety, with both individuals in the car wearing lap seat belts. The ASB said that people may not realise that vintage cars are fitted with lap seatbelts which are not clearly seen in the video. The advertisement was pulled from screening and would not re-air until Apple re-edited it with all parts featuring Goodrem's arms and hands outside of the car window removed.[115]

On 15 February 2018, Goodrem released a single, "Think About You", which was also released for streaming and download on her website on 16 February 2018. The song was written by Goodrem in collaboration with songwriters Julian Bunetta and John Ryan. "Think About You" is described as being a "feel good, upbeat song with an irresistible catchy groove", yet is also noted for its cheeky sexualised lyrics that earned it to be called a "sexy upbeat banger" by reviewers.[116][117][118] Goodrem reinvented her look which included colouring her hair darker for this promotional video.[119]

Goodrem played Olivia Newton-John in the Newton-John biopic called Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted to You and released a covers soundtrack album called I Honestly Love You in May 2018.[120][121][122]

Goodrem announced in December 2019 that she was "living in a music bubble", working on her sixth studio album.[123]

In January 2020, Goodrem released a charity single, "Let It Rain", in aid of the 2019–2020 bushfires in Australia. She was inspired to write "Let It Rain" after seeing the devastation from the bushfires across Australia. She teamed with Apple Music, Sony Music and iHeartRadio for the release. All proceeds went to aid with Red Cross bushfire relief.[124]

While continuing to work on The Voice, Goodrem released the singles "Keep Climbing" and "Paralyzed" and announced the Bridge Over Troubled Dreams Tour of Australia and New Zealand,[125] scheduled to begin in March 2022.[126] She had to cancel the New Zealand portion of the tour for COVID-19 related reasons on 2 March 2022.[127] Goodrem officially started the tour in March 2022 and at the Brisbane performance some of it was recorded for a Red Cross appeal (Australia Unites: Red Cross Flood Appeal)[128] It was received well and called "simply Delta Goodrem's best tour yet. She's taken elements of things she's learnt from every tour in the past, and curated a night full of euphoric highs and big singalong's for pop fans who've been longing to be inside an arena together again".[129] She then took the tour to Europe in October 2022 for sold-out shows in the UK and Germany.[130][131]

On 12 November 2020, with no prior announcement and despite teasing an album of original material, Goodrem released her sixth studio album and first Christmas album, Only Santa Knows.[132] To support the album, Goodrem announced her own Christmas special Christmas with Delta, which aired on Nine Network on 12 December.[133] She did a second show in 2021 set in Luna Park Sydney for the deluxe edition re-release of the project[134] She did a third concert with a tribute to Olivia Newton-John in 2022.[3][135]

In early December 2020, Goodrem left The Voice for a second time,[136] and in early 2021 announced the release of her seventh studio album Bridge over Troubled Dreams for May of that year, alongside an autobiographical and photographic book bearing the same name.[137] Throughout Australia's COVID-19 response, Goodrem spent most of 2020 and 2021 doing The Bunkerdown Sessions, a livestream concert series for fans through her Instagram and Facebook pages.[138][139] In December 2021, Goodrem took issue with an Instagram post by NSW Health, who later apologised, that used her image with two needles pointing at her head to personify the Delta variant in an effort to advertise the booster vaccine.[140]

Personal life

edit

In around 2002, Goodrem dated fellow Neighbours cast member Blair McDonough.[159] In 2004, Goodrem began a nine-month relationship with Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis. Her comeback single, "Out of the Blue", was written about his support during her cancer battle.[160][161] Later in 2004, Goodrem began dating former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, with whom she collaborated on the duet "Almost Here". They were engaged, but the pair ended their relationship in April 2011. Goodrem and McFadden released a joint statement stating that they wished each other the best for the future and will remain friends.[162] In May 2011, Goodrem started dating Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, who was 18 at the time. They broke up in February 2012.[163]

Goodrem has been in a relationship with fellow musician Matthew Copley since late 2016.[164][165] In September 2023, Goodrem and Copley announced their engagement.[166]

In February 2020, James Joseph Lafferty pleaded guilty at Downing Centre Local Court to stalking and intimidating Goodrem; including writing her over 300 poems and Instagram messages along with visiting Goodrem's apartment on Valentine's Day and the following day.[167]

On 16 August 2020, Goodrem released a six-minute video detailing the back story behind her song "Paralyzed". In the video, she revealed that after having her salivary gland removed, she faced serious complications that led to the paralysis of a nerve in her tongue, which left her having to re-learn to speak.[168]

Legacy and artistry

Goodrem's repertoire falls under the pop and adult contemporary styles, and heavily features the piano, which she usually plays barefoot while performing live.[169] She is known for her soprano voice,[170][171] which in a review of Delta was described as crystalline, fierce and illuminating in quality.[172]

In 2022, Goodrem was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2022 Australia Day Honours for "significant service to the not-for-profit sector, and to the performing arts".[173] Goodrem was honoured with a wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Sydney's Darling Harbour, which opened in April 2012.[174]

Goodrem has endorsed many products such as the Wii, Sanitarium, So Good, Nesquik, Sunsilk and Pepsi.[175][176][177][178][179] She has also released an underwear range, Delta by Anabella (Briefly 2004–2006) and a self-titled perfume in April 2017, which by June that same year had sold 30,000 bottles and made $1 million in sales.[180] This was followed by fragrances "Dream" in 2018,[181][182][183] "Destiny" in 2019, "Power" in 2022 and "Power Intense" in 2023.

Her debut studio album, Innocent Eyes (2003), made her one of Australia's highest-selling female recording artists, spending 29 weeks at No. 1,[24] selling over 1.2 million copies in Australia and another 4.5 million internationally, debuting at number 2 in the UK and breaking various records in the process.[18]

In 2004, Goodrem released Mistaken Identity, her second studio album, which entered the ARIA charts at number one and spawned two number-one singles and quickly gained multi-platinum status. In 2005, Goodrem embarked on The Visualise Tour, her debut concert tour of Australia, combining songs from both Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity. Goodrem released her third studio album, the eponymous Delta, on 20 October 2007 to yet another number-one debut, gaining multi-platinum status within the first few months of release. Goodrem also shifted attention to different markets, releasing the album in the Far East and the US. In January 2009, Goodrem embarked on the Believe Again Tour of Australia to support her third studio album.[66] Her fourth studio album, Child of the Universe, had two platinum singles, "Sitting On Top of the World" and "Wish You Were Here". Her fifth studio album, Wings of the Wild, became her fourth number-one album on the ARIA Albums Chart, producing the number-one single "Wings" and "Dear Life"; it went platinum and peaked at number 3. Her fifth Australian number one album came in 2021 with the release of Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, which took her total of number of weeks charting at 1 in the album charts to 33 weeks in Australia.[184]

Goodrem has a total of nine number-one singles and 17 top-ten hits on the ARIA Singles Chart.[21] She has sold over nine million albums globally.[185]

In May 2005, Goodrem helped launch "Teen Info on Cancer", a UK website aimed at supporting young teenage sufferers.[187] In November 2005, Goodrem became an ambassador for Research Australia's "Thank You Day", which honours the country's health and medical researchers and received a Thank You Day Celebrity Advocacy Award "in recognition of her efforts in raising funds and awareness for Australian medical research and charities".[188][189]

In 2007 Goodrem was the face of Alternative Hair, in aid of cancer charity Leukaemia Research.[190] Goodrem is also a member of RADD (Recording Artists, Actors And Athletes Against Drink Driving), a group of celebrities raising awareness of the risks of drunk driving.[191] In 2011, Goodrem became an ambassador for The Kinghorn Cancer Centre, Sydney.[192][193]
