Natalie Imbruglia was born in 1975 and grew up in New South Wales, and before she ever sang a note on record she was known across Australia as Beth Brennan on the soap opera Neighbours. After leaving the show she moved to Britain to try her hand at music, and her very first single turned into one of the defining sounds of the late '90s.
"Torn" was a cover of a song by Ednaswap, but Imbruglia made it her own, all bruised, breathy restraint over a strummed, rolling groove. It went around the world, sat atop the US Billboard radio chart for 11 weeks in 1998 and landed her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Her debut album, Left of the Middle, went multi-platinum in the US, the UK and Australia and sold 7 million copies worldwide.
White Lilies Island in 2001 and Counting Down the Days in 2005 didn't match those numbers, but both went gold in Britain. She has made 6 studio albums in all, collected 8 ARIA Awards and 2 Brit Awards, and kept acting too, with a part in Johnny English.
