Deborah Conway

Deborah Conway is the kind of artist whose range I genuinely admire. A founding member of the 1980s band Do-Re-Mi behind the hit "Man Overboard," she then carved out a solo career with "It's Only the Beginning" and the top-20 album String of Pearls, all while working as a model and actress. Earning a Member of the Order of Australia in 2020 confirms a career built to last. In an industry full of one-hit acts, staying a working singer-songwriter for decades takes real substance. To me she reads as an artist with deep roots, someone who keeps writing and performing because the craft is simply who she is.
