Australian pop princess Jessica Mauboy is set to make a splash on the small screen next year in Channel 7’s ‘Secret Daughter’. The miniseries was specially commissioned with the starlet in mind and will see Jessica play a pub singer who has a chance encounter that changes her life. Adding another string to her bow, the talented singer-slash-actress-slash-perfumer will add a producing credit to her name.

This is not Jessica’s first venture into acting. In 2012 she dazzled in the smash-hit movie ‘The Sapphires’ starring alongside Deborah Mailman, Miranda Tapsell and Irishman Chris O’Dowd. The Sapphires opened to much critical acclaim and took home a swag of AACTA Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Mauboy.

Since sky-rocketting to fame as a fresh-face teenager on Australian Idol, Jessica has gone on to become one of Australia’s most loved singers. Her breezy, R&B vocals and winning charm have seen her perform at Eurovision, The Rugby League Grand Final, not to mention her platinum-selling album ‘Beautiful’ featuring the hit ‘Can I get a moment?’.
Whilst Jessica’s jet-setting lifestyle certainly keeps her busy, she makes sure to return to her family roots in Darwin and is most at home soaking up the beauty’s of nature with her loved ones.

Later this month Jessica will also foray into perfume with signature fragrance ‘Be Beautiful’, launching into stores on 30th October. The scent is inspired by the earthy, tropical beauty of the Northern Territory and co-incides with the release of her new single ‘This Ain’t Love’.
