Karise Eden Things I've Done

After being crowned the winner of the very first season of The Voice Australia in 2012, Karise Eden broke not one, but two Australian records by having 4 of the Top 5 songs on the ARIA singles chart that week with "You Won't Let Me", "Stay with Me Baby", "Hallelujah" and "I Was Your Girl". The last time one act occupied so many top spots was back in April 1964 when The Beatles held the top 6 positions. The second record is something which no-one has achieved before, 3 debuts in the one week within the Top 5.

That same week, she had an astonishing 8 songs in the ARIA top 40 with "You Won't Let Me", "I Was Your Girl", "Nothing's Real but Love" and "Stay with Me Baby" each reaching ARIA Gold certification and "Hallelujah" being certified Platinum.

Her album My Journey debuted at #1 on the ARIA album chart and held that top spot for an incredible 6 weeks, going on to achieve double platinum sales.

Eden first began singing in public at the age of 13, when she first learnt to play guitar playing traditional folk and bluegrass. Her musical influences don't come as a surprise with the likes of Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and Bon Jovi all listed amongst Karise's favourites. These influences were evident to everyone who fell in love with her during her time on The Voice.

2013 saw Eden road testing new material via performances at Blues Fest and small shows around Sydney and the Central Coast. The new songs were received so well live that it inspired her to get back into the studio and record. Those studio sessions culminated in her brand new album 'Things I've Done' which is set for release on October 17.
