Verdun, South Australia, musician Talia Wittmann has taken the crown as winner of the Toyota Star Maker 2008 competition, Australia’s oldest and most successful country music talent search.
Twenty finalists were whittled down to a grand final six in Tamworth, Australia’s Country Music Capital, today with many competitors already considered as established performers in their own right.
Talia said she is excited by the prospects that lie ahead.
“It’s an amazing feeling to be awarded a prize that has started the careers of some of the biggest names in country music,” she said. “It’s a huge opportunity and I intend to make the most of it.”
The only South Australian finalist of the contest, Talia graduated in 2007 from the Australian College of Country Music. She grew up on her parent’s property with a love of dancing, horses… and motorbikes.
Always fun-loving, Talia quickly turned her attention to music in primary school, where she began guitar and singing lessons, entering local talent quests along the way. At 18, and in her final year of school, Talia released her first recorded EP.
Toyota Star Maker has been a major stepping stone in the careers of country music legends including James Blundell, Beccy Cole, Gina Jeffreys, Lee Kernaghan and Keith Urban. Many others have gone on to establish successful careers in the music business.
