Jessica Mauboy

“I love to kick back at home with some good food, friends, & family and watch DVDs!”

“Getting up and having the courage to share with people, all people, and even just being asked to sing, first of all, that's all part of how I express my identity.”

“I thank my mum, dad, and home for keeping me in touch with my own country and my own land. I can be in the studio with Snoop Dogg or singing for Oprah, but I'm still me.”

“The first thing I do when I get home is take my shoes off and go barefoot.”

“When I go back home, I am just Jess, no-one special.”

“I have written with some amazing singers and songwriters - the moment with Snoop Dogg was amazing - but being able to tell an Aboriginal story is bigger than anything that I have ever known.”
