Kylie Minogue was born in 1968, in Melbourne. She has two ancestries, Australian and British by her parents and her full name is Kylie Ann Minogue. Among her studies were English, Arts and Graphics and when she became 11, she began playing in soap operas. She started to write songs for a young talent show in Australia in which she made her first appearance as a singer in 1985, but she didn't enter the cast. On the contrary, she joined the "Neighbours" soap opera, which became famous in the UK and she won four "Logie Awards" in the same year.
After Minogue made her first contract, she released "The Locomotion" (a cover of Little Eva's song) as her first single, in 1987. The song made the most sales in that decade, giving her an ARIA Award. Her first hit "I Should Be So Lucky" was recorded in London and reached the top of the charts in seven countries, including the UK and Australia. She won one more ARIA Award, while her first album, named "Kylie" came out in the summer of 1988. It reached the top of the UK chart, becoming six times platinum.
Minogue cooperated with Jason Donovan in "Especially for You", which became no. 1 in the UK, while her next success was the album "Enjoy Yourself" one year later, with the hits "Hand on Your Heart" and "Tears on My Pillow" to separate. She took part in her first movie, "The Delinquents" and her next album "Rhythm of Love", came out in late 1990, including the song "Better the Devil You Know", which reached the highest position among the singles. It was followed by "Let's Get to It" and later by "Greatest Hits", that became no. 1 in the UK. The next album, named "Kylie Minogue" came out in 1994, with the hit "Confide in Me" to separate. She continued with a couple of roles in movies such as "Street Fighter" and in 1995 she recorded "Where the Wild Roses Grow" with Nick Cave, a duet that gained two ARIA Awards.
In the next decade, Minogue released another four successful albums. 2000's "Light Years" included the top hits "Spinning Around", "On a Night Like This" and the duet "Kids" with Robbie Williams, while 2001's "Fever" contained the super hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which became her biggest success (no. 1 in over 40 countries). They were followed by 2003's "Body Language", which includes the hit "Slow" and 2007's "X".
Minogue suffered from breast cancer that she discovered in 2005, but she managed to overcome it and recorded four more studio albums until 2018. She has toured all over the world, while she is regarded as a pop idol and has also made an impact on the world of fashion.
