Tina Arena |
Melbourne's own world star... Tina Arena
Filippina Lydia "Tina" Arena AM was born in Keilor East on 1 November 1967.
She first appeared on Young Talent Time in 1976 and has become one of Australia's highest-selling artists selling over 10 million records worldwide.
She is multilingual, singing and recording in English, Italian, French and Spanish.
Tina Arena is a name that is synonymous with Australian music and pop culture. Her voice has resonated throughout generations from her early days on Young Talent Time, to her coming of age debut album Strong as Steel, through to her incredible international success with sophomore album, ten times platinum Don't Ask and follow up multi platinum In Deep, and then again with 2001's Just Me.
Tina's career boasts an incredible playbook of anthemic hits that have penetrated the Australian musical landscape and earned her both critical and commercial acclaim both at home and abroad. Hits like platinum selling I Need Your Body, Chains, Heaven Help My Heart, Sorrento Moon, Burn, Now I Can Dance and Symphony Of Life have established Tina as Australia's premier songstress having recently been voted the greatest Australian female singer of all time by her Australian musical peers.
Then there's her extraordinary parallel pop career in her adopted home of France, where she's sold over 4 million records and received that country's highest cultural honour, a Knighthood of the Order of National Merit - a first for any Australian artist.
Tina was also the first woman to win the ARIA Award for 'Album of the Year', and was bestowed the honour of opening the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 and she has won several World Music Awards - there's also been her critically acclaimed stints as a music theatre star on the West End in London. And, more recently, her double platinum Songs of Love & Loss tribute albums and national symphonic tours. Away from music, in 2005, Tina became a mother to son Gabriel.
and the list goes on!
