Kylie released her first solo album in 2008, and three more since. Her third album, Still Life, won The Age / Music Victoria Award for Best Soul, Funk, R&B, Gospel Album of 2013.

Whether in the recording studio or onstage, Kylie is firmly established as a featured artist in her own right, performing her own material that combines elements and influences from soul, funk, R&B, gospel and dance music. Her voice has drawn comparisons with Diana Ross and Sharon Jones.

She will be joined by Mike Pennisi (keyboards), Damon Grant (sax, flute), Gillan Gregory (guitar), Warren Hunter (bass guitar, Moog bass), Graeme Pogson (drums) and Angie Feterika (backing vocals).
