Missy Higgins (born Melissa Morrison Higgins on August 19, 1983) is an Australian singer-songwriter living in Melbourne. Her professional music career began in mid-2001 while she was still a student at Geelong Grammar School, when she won the Triple J 'Victoria Unearthed' competition with her song All For Believing. She released her first EP with record label Eleven: a music company in November 2003. Her second EP Scar was released in August 2004, debuting at #1 on the Australian charts. Her first album, The Sound Of White was released in September 2004.

The Sound Of White was produced in the US by John Porter with audio engineer Jay Newland, noted for his work with jazz singer-songwriter, Norah Jones. Throughout 2004, Missy has been touring as a support act with Pete Murray and The John Butler Trio, including solo performances at the Hordern Pavilion, The Clarendon, and the Enmore Theatre. With the release of The Sound Of White, Missy has begun another national tour, her first as the headliner.
In 2004 Missy was nominated in four categories at the ARIA Awards. These included best female artist and single of the year. At the awards ceremony on the 17th of October Missy received the award for "Best Pop Release". She has been embraced by the Australian public, her single Ten Days, one of the best contemporary pop songs, peaked at number 12 on the ARIA charts.

Barry Bissell, a somewhat revered figure in the critique of popular music, has hailed her as a true singer songwriter due to her ability to pen heart-wrenchingly earnest lyrics.

She released her 3rd single, The Special Two, to both critical and commerical acclaim. It became an instant hit on radio and in the charts debuting and peaking at #2 on the ARIA chart. She continued touring in mid 2005 and released The Sound Of White in August of 2005. In late 05, she teamed up with Ben Lee for a national tour.
